Binic by Ionna Vautrin for Foscarini - photo: ionnavautrin.comThe most awesome thing happened today. I reached into my filing cabinet and stumbled upon a small, single, delicious truffle in a ziplock bag leftover from my Christmas treat stash. How this little wonder escaped my awareness for nearly three weeks, I have no idea - but am I ever glad that it did! Also great today, is my discovery of Ionna Vautrin's website. She is the young up and coming designer behind Binic: a brand new sweet and petite lamp for Foscarini that truly makes you go Awww.

Metropolis magazine noted the lamp's likeness with Kenny from South Park (which made me laugh out loud), but for me ... it's also akin to the disproportionate headed robot, Marvin, from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I just want to give them both warm, encouraging hugs. Vautrin's actual inspiration came from the wind socks and lighthouses of North Eastern France.
