Bubble pendant

The saucer bubble pendant that HAY sells — was originally designed by American designer George Nelson in the late 1940s – inspired by Swedish hanging lamps he admired but couldn’t afford.
The pendant is a standout example of mid-century modern lighting & feels just as fresh today.

Definitely a timeless piece!

Timeless heroes

I cannot claim that I am a collector of classical design icons. I’m not a collector of anything more than the things who has been with us throughout the years & which, by usage, have gained significant personal value over time. These, including memories & occurrences that are connected with the items, that I cherish. I am trying to reduce on possessions, actually, no matter what they might be worth. You can only own so much or use so much, really. All the moves that we have gone through, has helped to reduce the number of things in the household, thanks & praise. In time, it becomes easier to realize what’s really needed & what’s important. Experiences as well as small moments of happiness – that’s what I collect nowadays. One of those experiences as well as moments of happiness, is the beauty of design classics – our timeless heroes.
