Tord Boontje: The Lacemaker

Tord Boontje is one of those designers who creates objects which leave you speechless. The light shades which he designed for Habitat in the late 90's, changed the way in which people in this country shopped for their home furniture. Previously, interiors were all modernist design-by-numbers minimalism. Boontje broke the mould. His work is inspired by fairytale glades and nature gone wild. It is both cutting edge cool, and also a bit Arts & Craftsy. There is a new exhibition of his take on modern lace making at the Marsden Woo Gallery which looks incredible.
