[Re] design, the non-profit organization established by designers specializing in sustainable design, hit Bluebird restaurant in London recently with a showcase of quirky, smart designs snagged from their previous exhibition during London Design Week last year. One of the show’s highlights was without a doubt, the Anglo-Italian design studio, Studiomold who won approving looks from the restaurant’s fascinated clientele by raiding the recycling box and crafting beautiful lamp bases out of used plastic, fizzy drink bottles. Sustainable and aesthetically pleasing, Studiomold’s Big Crush and Little Crush table lamps instill the notion of creating ambiance with a sense of humor.
Founded in 2003 by designer couple Brendan Young and Vanessa Battaglia, Studiomold’s work has won international acclaim. Their designs have appeared in prestigious exhibitions such as the ICFF New York and Salone del Mobile Milan. At 100% Design UK last year, they were listed as one of the top 10 design studios of the future.
