Designer Spotlight: Tord Boontje

I've been enchanted by Dutch designer Tord Boontje from the moment I saw one of his MidSummer Light Suspension Lamps ($80) in a local store. Like many of Boontje's designs, the romantic cut-fiber fixture resembles a whimsical waterfall of lacy flowers.

Boontje's hyper-modern, fairy-tale-esque style extends to furniture, chandeliers, textiles, tableware, paper products, and much more. If you're interested in exploring him more, there's a great Boontje book that just came out, or you can click on the photos below.

    Oh my gosh, thank you for posting this! It reminds me of the paper decor in Lost in Translation, which I looked for forever and couldn't find. Now they have these hanging in the Juniors section at Macy's and the sales staff didn't know where I might get one! And here it is! I'm so happy! Smiling

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE him! Last holiday season he did a limited edition line for target. I had to travel to 4 targets to get the full collection. I would've bought them online, but by the time I decided that Yes, I did need both, the dinner plates and salad plates and 4 wine goblets, they were sold out of the color I wanted!

    The lamps looks like a craft project your kid did at school. I don't like it. The chair looks pretty cute though.

    I think that lamp is gorgeous! I'd have no idea how to decorate a room around it though!

    I have this lamp hanging about my desk, as I type this. I get so many compliments on it, and I love looking at it everyday. I got mine at the MOMA store in LA that just went out of business. His gold and silver designs are amazing, too.

    I absolutely loved all the stuff I found of his at Target last year. Those curtains are so cool!
