dane decor

Niky and Graham have been living and breathing art for as long as they can remember. Niky and Graham collectively are inspired to create abstract art, wall art, art prints, geometric art and abstract art. They teamed up in September 2010 and have worked on many successful creative projects since then. WallArtza was born out of going with the flow that came from being born to create. They live and work in beautiful Cape Town, at the most southern tip of Africa. These would look amazing in a dane decor living room. Just sayin'! 

Carl H. tracked down the people in Copenhagen that makes these by visiting several Danish Museum's gift shops online. This is the absolute best way to describe the new danish design brand, Flatlight. The products come in a single plywood frame, where all the component are. You can easily pop the components out and assemble the product, using simple assembly instructions. All assembly is done without glue or any other form of adhesive. The idea is that when you assembled a piece of furniture yourself, you care a little more about the product as well. The concept is aimed towards being as sustainable as possible while creating something visually interesting.

In the 1980s, Ettore Sottsass (1917-2008) was one of the founders and the leading figure of Memphis, the Milan design group famous for brightly colored postmodern furniture, lighting and ceramics. Its collection includes glassworks, and large sculptural cabinets made of acrylic, aluminum and tropical wood. Mr. Sottsass was known for his playfulness and wit as well as his whimsical ornamentation. His Adesso Però stained-wood bookshelf from 1992 looks like three red lightning bolts shooting into a red platform. His Tahiti lamp, from 1981, resembles a tropical bird with a long yellow neck and boxy red beak. He has also designed iconic electronic products for Olivetti, as well as beautiful glass and ceramics.
