Brits will be familiar with the iconic Smithfield market which is famous for raw meat! So it comes as a bit of surprise that something as drab as a wholesale market can act as a source of inspiration. But then again, God and designers work in mysterious ways! Jokes apart, we simply love the Smithfield Lamp designed by Jasper Morrison for Flos. The lamp borrows heavily from industrial techniques and is Morrison's take on something as mundane as a metal lamp shade that is usually found in the meat packing district. The Smithfield Lamp available in painted glossy black or white and will be exhibited at the Milan Design Fair.

These contemporary home pictures come from Belsize Architects and cover a new home constructed in the Heath Fringes Conservation Area in Highgate, London. The “Sheldon Avenue” project was constrained by a long and narrow plot of land. The home owners wanted seven bedrooms in a contemporary setting. Some of the more striking features in this residence are the high views created from the different floors of the home and how the color blue was worked into the swimming pool area. Via.

Having just returned from London, I really admire the architecture of that great city. This townhouse is in Cloth Fair a short distance from central London. The owners have done a good job of renovating the property over the years. A lot of work has been done in the kitchen to bring it up to today’s standards. The sun room is a nice touch since London’s weather can make one appreciate the sun when it’s out. Via.
