LMK

LMK is a creative studio run by a young woman in le havre

i've discovered the brand during the latest christmas market organized by klin d'oeil

she makes necklaces, bracelets, pins, earrings and so many other things

working with clay, fabric...

every piece is unique.

pins and earrings were my favorites.

Sputnik lamps, by Julie Lansom

D'une enfance à dessiner avec Spirograph,

Julie Lansom a gardé à l'esprit ses formes géométriques pour confectionner ses lampes Sputnik.

Autour d'une structure en bois, il lui faut plusieurs heures pour assembler les fils de coton.

Comme les dessins, aux couleurs et formes infinies, sur Spirograph, 

les lampes de Julie se déclinent selon les envies.
