Successful Living: Diesel Lighting Collection
My most favorite shoe (in my personal collection) is a strikingly gorgeous and unique leather/suede lace up high top by Diesel - think ballerina meets Rocky over London fogs in the spring. Absolutely perfect in every way, this shoe is loved equally as a design object as it is footwear. Diesel has recently engaged in a design collaboration with Foscarini and Moroso to produce a home collection, "Successful Living" or - an ultra cool fusion of fashion and function. Sporting names like "Rock", "Cage", "Graf", and "Tri-p", the lighting collection references a culture of warehouse rock shows, industrial raw and vintage aesthetic with an elegance and luxury that only these two design houses could front.

The "Fork" design emotes a softer, more casual look with a patchwork style stitched shade sewn much like a pair of jeans, and oversized metal rings to house a bridging rod that allows the shade to turn 360 degrees. The shape and proportion of the shade in relationship to the large, angular articulating arm and body of the floor lamp makes for much more than just a light. This piece has serious character and changes expressions based on how it's posed.

Fork floor lamp with table lamp"Cage" is inspired by underground (literally) miner's lights that had to be protected with metal rings so as not to break in a rough working environment. The rings on these lights are so beautifully crafted and finished, it creates an interesting juxtaposition between a utilitarian idea and a high design product. Cage comes in a few different forms and colours including white, black and a fresh, cool turquoise.

This design feels heavy and hard like a rock and it's surface looks as though it has been roughly carved into a spherical shape with a giant paring knife. The interior tells a different story with an iridescent finish that shimmers in it's own light, revealing a softer side to this piece.
