Designed by Pablo Pardo, The 'Light Table Bench 52' is available exclusively from Design Within Reach. This dimmable light table bench is easily adaptable to any setting. It would look great in an entryway or lounge. Objects placed on the Light Table Bench are softly illuminated with indirect light, which is especially effective for transparent or translucent objects. Used in multiples and placed in a row, the benches create a continuous runway of light. The work of Pablo Pardo and his San Francisco-based studio is widely recognized for creating unique, simple items that combine technical sensibilities with the most appropriate materials. For the Light Table Bench, these materials include an acrylic white translucent top and clear support ends.
Last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing Luca Guadagnino's film, "I am Love". The film stars Tilda Swinton, whose performance is simply flawless.

No. They are not real. But, they are certainly very realistic! The porcelain fruit and vegetable collection by Penkridge Ceramics for Sweet Bella, is probably the most lovely interpretation of actual fruits and vegetables that I have come across. According to Sweet Bella, these works of art are "influenced by tromp-l’oeil and early still life paintings, this collection of ‘super real’ porcelain fruit and vegetables has been produced since 1984 by Penkridge Ceramics, a small workshop close to Birmingham, England. Each piece is made with phenomenal attention to detail from hand-carved cane stems to the individually applied porcelain spikes on the horse chestnuts. The leaves are created in pewter by sculptor Alan Ballantyne. The finish of the monochrome metallics is made from real gold and silver. A sprinkling of these pieces would look just stunning in the kitchen or dining room.
