I’m very lucky to be part of a very great charity event, the enLIGHTen Project. The Kids of Kathmandu charity is holding an auction of unique lighting design. Proceeds from the enLIGHTen project will go towards solar panels and batteries for the orphanage in Nepal.

Andrew and Jami, the lovely couple who run the charity, came by the studio for a quick photo shoot (it was my first shoot, they call it a “shoot” in the biz, actually I don’t think they do). Anyway, Jami took some amazing photos of the lamp I’m making for the event.

There are someincredible designers involved in the project, check them out.

Core77 took some amazing images from the THREAT show.

Take a look.

The New York Times did a great piece on the THREAT show. Going to be a fantastic show.

More great news, my piece the Goodnight Stand got into the the American Design Club’s latest show THREAT. It’s 3AM, someone else is in the house, what do you grab? An exhibition of objects with one purpose, protection from the THREAT.

THREAT is March 9th at Present Company (29 Wythe Street, Brooklyn, NY), come one, come all.

The ITP Winter Show was kind of a blur, but it went great. So many amazing exhibits. Below are some quick videos of Kinetic Sculpture 5 in action.

I have the good fortune to be lending a hand on an incredible installation: Lumarca.

Lumarca is a volumetric display that allows viewers to experience digital animations in true three dimensional space. The video does not do it justice, the effect is pretty amazing in person. And this January 12th you can come and see it at Eyebeam.

The creators Albert Hwang and Matt Parker have done some incredible work, not to be missed.

For more information on the show check out http://eyebeam.org/events/main-space-lumarca.

The fine folks at the American Design Club pulled together a very comprehensive press release of the Use Me show. I get a bit of a thrill seeing the Secret Passageway Switch next to all of these amazing designs.
