Carry Your Essentials In Style With The Modern Clutch For Chic Women

 

Nibot has re-designed the clutch by infusing stainless as material into the purse apparel industry. Its sheen look changes tone with the surrounding ambience, reflecting the color of a dress, the flame of candlelight, or the brush strokes in a gallery. It is a chameleon, looks great no matter what the event. The simple lines are suitable for all occasions, providing a clean and elegant look.

Nibot Design - Akane Clutch Purse

Nibot is the result of years spent doing endless technical CAD drawings, until the point where creativity had no choice but to explode. With all things bound to a third decimal place accuracy, one wonders after years, what would happen if a drawing were simply sketched. Forget dimensions and all this nonsense about tolerance and lets draw foremost for design.

Nibot Design - Kazumi Clutch Purse

The clutch purses are Nibot’s first exciting product launch. The idea is to have a contemporary piece, yet maintain simplicity. The goal is to give a “look” the nudge of attitude that every style needs. There are currently 5 pieces in the collection, with further creativity already underway.

Product Feature : Sculpted Light "Spring"

ECO-CHIC LIGHTING

Joanne Rich is definitely "rich" in ideas. Having seen her work at the One of a Kind Show this Spring 2011, she took a skill she learned back in high school and has turned it into her livelihood.  Joanne specializes in unique hand-made light sculptures; each abstract and special in their own way. Her creations are very environmentally-friendly. Because she does not like handling caustic chemicals - she uses as less as possible. She strives to create as much paper (for her creations) as she can utilizing her own resources from her own backyard, garden or local park.  

Some of Joanne's lighting sculptures can be found in restaurants, offices and bedrooms -- creating a cozy, warm effect. They have even been used as centre pieces in weddings, which is something totally different and rarely seen.

Sculpted Light is found online on Etsy, as well as in person in a few of local shops in Toronto : Haute Par Periwinkle, Periwinkle on Bloor, and Freedom Clothing Collective to name a few. Joanne also participates in numerous trade shows - exposing her art pieces to more and more of the world.

Featured here is one of my favourite light sculptures called "Spring":

This abstract sculpture was made with reed, abaca unryu tissues, and handmade skeleton maple leaves. Maple leaves are cooked in soda ash solution, then the "flesh" is gently brushed away to reveal the skeleton. This can be hung, or placed on top of a table. Light fixture (with on/off switch) is included. Approximate dimensions: 15"x15"x11".
