Fascinating Lamps That Dance Like Jellyfish



In a charmed and continuous blend of technology and organic aesthetic, Studio Drift, an art and design studio in Amsterdam, has produced a set of lovely silken ceiling lamps often called “Shylights” that impersonator the circadian rhythms of flowers by opening and closing in a hypnotizing dance. Therefore, in flowers, nyctinasty is the opening and closing of their petals or leaves in response to light or darkness. Moreover it is organic movement that the “Shylights” seek to emulate. They work merely when activated, the flower’s cocoon drops up to 30ft down, inflating the flower-like silken skirt in the lamp’s frame and revealing its complete beauty. The set of lamps then rises and falls in a programmable choreographed sequence. The lamps are presently a perpetual exhibit at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, which requested that the studio make the lamps after seeing their non-permanent model.

Gorgeous Home Perched on Cliff's Edge of Sea



This gorgeous home is located in Nahr el Mot, Lebanon sits the stunning seaside home, which is known as “Amchit Residence”. The home is beautifully designed by “Blankpage Architects” and is perched on the edge of a cliff with a boardwalk-like rooftop deck and a lap pool for unhindered ocean views.

Well, the property is smooth and up-to-date with a warm-yet-minimalist feeling interior that put emphasis on concrete and wood. It was attractively conceived by the architects as a series of decks that maximize the home’s relationship to the sea; they designed it outwards and towards the water rather than away from it.

An upper platform contains the master bedroom constructed in walls of glass, while the middle deck features two additional bedrooms and a family living area. The lower portion serves as a reception space with an infinity pool and a staircase that takes you to the shore. Amchit Residence is at sea level and oriented nearly due west, so the sunset is a remarkable time of day.

The ample airy, feel invites rays of sunshine and drenches the spaces in a deep reddish-orange glow. Couple this with the citrus, olive, and palm trees that are spread throughout the property, and you have a slice of heaven.
