Light up my life, Anve Lisbon...

Now that the 90's and noughties have been and gone (heave a sigh of relief: customised neon signs, I banish thee!), lighting has become more and more inventive in interior design. Take, for example, these nifty hanging lightbulbs from the new Lisbon-based Portuguese design studio Anve. They're extremely simple and original and would look fantastic hanging from the exposed oak beams of a large, airy kitchen (should you happen to have such a thing). Failing that, they'd look great just pinned to a wall. Yet another thing to crave. Anve themselves are a really interesting tiny studio, selling multiple custom items that they've designed themselves in their own studio. They range from unusual lighting to handmade belts and a multitude of weird and wonderful things in between. Well worth a look! What was that, relatives that are aware it's my birthday in two months? Why, I'd absolutely love a pair of them, how kind of you...!
