Let Hilden & Diaz design duo amaze you with their ‘Forms in Nature’ tree shadow light! It is partly inspired by the illustrations of the German naturalist and biologist Ernst Haeckel who discovered, described and named thousands of new species of animals and plants. The ‘Forms in Nature’ chandeliers are simply amazing – they project a 360° shadow of trees and roots onto the walls surrounding it. Hilden and Diaz explain on their website that “mirrorings are thrown out upon the walls and ceilings and provide weak Rorschach-like hints of faces, life and flow of consciousness”. The shadows that are projected by the Forms in Nature light fixture range from dim and soft to dark and strong.

When lit, it projects a forest that changes as the light is dimmed or brightened. It's moody, perhaps even a bit spooky, like a Grimm's fairy tale come to life. Late last year Hilden and Diaz wrote about this stunning chandelier, and thanks to a recent uptick in interest they are contemplating a Kickstarter campaign. In the meantime you can check out their description of the piece and maybe try your hand at a DIY take on the idea. Read more: Hilden and Diaz(Image: Hilden & Diaz)chandelier majora's mask21 Incredible Lamps Made From Household Itemschandelier nazca Adding a statement lamp is a brilliant way to add dramatic flair to a ho-hum room. chandeliers for hire in johannesburgIt's especially great if you're decorating for someone with ever-changing tastes (ahem, teenagers) or are limited by a rental agreement.

Not only does this simple carton hanging pendent look like a million bucks, but the geometric patterns act like modern wallpaper, even for renters.Ed ChewHave you ever transformed an everyday object into a work of art? If Edgar Allan Poe had to design a chandelier, it would be something on the lines of Forms in Nature. Don’t let the almost macabre design fool you, as the chandelier has been designed keeping in mind the modern design connoisseur. 

Conceptualized by Hilden & Diaz, the chandelier seeks inspiration from the drawings of Ernst Haeckel, the German biologist, naturalist, and philosopher, though you maybe forgiven for thinking of something more sinister. The theme of mirroring is quite predominant and the artwork reflects a dense foliage that forms a 360 degrees circle around the light source. When the light is further intensified, the entire space gets engulfed in the shadows of trees and bushes to provide a surreal effect. Says the design studio:“The shadows engulfs the room and transforms the walls into unruly shadows of branches, bushes and gnarled trees. Dimming the lights transforms the installation and one senses aweak fire burning deep in the center of the forest.”Forms in Nature from Yeray Lopez Portillo on Vimeo.We all remember the bland days of the 1980s, when patterns and styles were forgettable and a long way away from the stylish and contemporary world that we live in today. Back then, it seemed like taste and style took a turn for the worse from the mid-century mod and psychedelic style-making ledge-walkers.

But with the help of technology and inspiration, design ideas of the 21st century have opened up opportunities to invite us to make our homes look super cool. However, we don’t all have a keen eye for design, do we? So, that is why we wanted to help you in making your home look amazing. With just 7 simple, but unique ideas, you’ll have your guests (be it family or friends), saying wow! when they enter your home.Let’s take a look at some incredible ideas to transform your home. 1. Glass Door Made Of Swatches This particular design idea can be jaw-dropping if done right, and is pretty much like a modern day take on stain-glass windows. The colored swatches that overlay onto glass doors change the mood of a room, and cast incredibly cheerfully colors across walls. This alone will take your breath away as you see the blend of different hues changing throughout the day. 2. The Chandelier That Can Turn Your Home Into A Forest Chandeliers can look impressive in most rooms of a house, whether you want to make it the central attraction to a hallway as you enter a home, or whether you want to put the “cherry on top of the cake” in a living room, dining room, or make it the main bedroom feature.

However, it’s not just the chandelier’s design that can look cool, it’s the way the light reflects off the walls and ceiling. With some designs you can transform a room with shadows – there’s even a chandelier designed by Hilden Diaz that creates reflections that emulate a forest. Wooden mats are inexpensive and add a contemporary-cool look to your home; whether you choose to put one at a rear door or the main front door, it’s the perfect decor addition to tell your guests “welcome”. 4. Hammock Over The Stairs You can’t get much cooler than placing a hammock across the top of your staircase, but you need to remember that people still need to use the stairs. With careful planning, “hanging out” will be a cinch. One of our funky favorites  is the aquarium sink, where you can wash your hands whilst looking at swimming fish! It’s a spectacular sight to behold and will have your guests looking and talking about it for a long while. 6. Swing Set Dining Table
