What to do When There is a Chill in the Air

You could bundle up in your parka on the cafe terrace or you could warm up up in style if they have these cool patio lanterns on.



Are these not the super chic alternative to those ugly gas heaters that can be seen keeping the chill away on those cooler summer evenings? While the gas heater might not be the best "green" solution to keeping warm in the outside areas we frequent, they are sometimes a necessary evil. Might as well go with the best looking of the bunch and this stylish solution from Kindle Living is the way to go. Note they are available with the optional LED lamp so the base is not to be missed. The black versions are sleek and offer a less conspicuous option.

Such a simple solution adds so much class to an otherwise clunky appliance. This company is based in Southern California and these items are crafted in the USA.

Interesting Lighting Place des Arts

Back again at the Metro Place des Arts, this time inside near teh entrance to the Contemporary art Museum.Above is a paper type feature ceiling installed in a well used corridor.
Tiny lights iin the floor of the dark hallway to the theatre offer a dramatic feel. Below is some kind of wayfinding lighting but I'm not too sure what the e5 means, maybe where you enter for different theater seating sections?


Some cove lighting on the way to the Metro entrance. Lighting definitely draws the eye through this space.

Interesting and Out of the Ordinary

Interesting lighting from Aqua Creations. This is some really innovative and very imaginitve work. The sculptural element to these pieces is predominant as evidence from these few photos. Check the website here for more fabulous works of design meets art.
