ALL THINGS DESIGN WORDS: MYA COLE

1. THE UCCA DUNE ART MUSEUM by Open Architecture

Ten galleries and a cafe are interlinked beneath the sand. The interconnected, organicallyshaped spaces echo those of caves, a masterpiece that weaves itself in and out of sand dunes. Different views of the sea and the sky can be seen changing throughout the day and allow natural light into the museum's spaces. A place to be visited, revered and learned from.

2. RUSH SEAT CUSHION by Japanese Craft

These beautiful seat or floor cushions are handmade in the Shiga prefecture, Japan. Shiga prefecture is a rush-producing district that was famous for farming and making Japanese floor matting. These cushions were made from leftover rush, but now they are very hard to find, and only a few producers are still making them.

3. MICHIYUKI-TOU LED PAPER LANTERN by Rina Ono

Classic, beautiful Japanese paper lantern. Beautifully made with a surprisingly powerful LED light. You will enjoy these lamps for years to come. As it is cordless, you can use it anywhere, for instance, on the table for dinner, as a reading light in the bedroom, or for taking a walk at night.

4. SAGE CHAIR by Sage

Made from European oak (natural or stained) and hand-woven Danish cord the Sage chair is reminiscent of late evenings basking in warm sunshine. Its woven seat golden and well sized perfect for comfort and insouciant style.
