We Turned a Palm Springs Architectural Marvel Into a Sun-Drenched Lightology Dream HomeWhen the team at Lightology approached Sight Unseen hoping to collaborate, we proposed curating a selection of our favorite pieces from the lighting and furniture retailer and installing them into a stunning architectural home in the Palm Springs desert. The now-sold 4,000 square-foot property has floor-to-ceiling windows and double-sided glass breezeways that make it the epitome of indoor/outdoor living — and the perfect sun-drenched backdrop for our vision of a Lightology dream home.

Objects & Ideas Are Making Sculptural, Relational Objects in the Canadian WildernessSince we last checked in with Di Tao and Bob Dodd of Toronto’s Objects & Ideas, their furniture designs have moved increasingly towards functional sculpture. “We’ve always thought that every piece we make needs to have a strong character and a strong expression — that has never changed. But the way we express our ideas has evolved,” says Tao. The latest pieces are visually alluring objects that have a use, of course: The enveloping Beaver Tail chair offers a seat, the curving Ascend floor lamp provides illumination. But these works also — and just as importantly — are relational, changing the space that they, and you, occupy.
