Kraftisan have just released their second commercial offering, the luna light.

It’s very special to me as I have the prototype in my livingroom. Product designer Lucas R Adams was part of the original ‘Curate this Space’ project and he offered up this ‘illuminating’ offering as his contribution.

Over the past few months he has continued to refine the concept and the commercial offering is smaller, neater and with the added luminaire, dare I say even more attractive.

In his own words:

The Luna Light is a task oriented studio-light that aims to illuminate your working and social environments in an elegant manner. Fully adjustable and rotational, the Luna Light can be fixed down to most surfaces by velcro feet, and comes fully assembled including all fittings and bulbs.

It’s constructed from Birch plywood and hand assembled, the Luna Light tries to remain as environmentally friendly as possible, by not using any bad adhesives in it’s assembly. A high-grade paper is used for the luminaire, while a cool white energy-saver bulb (included) lights up the show. Black cap screws are used for the basis of construction and standard velcro feet are attached on the base of the light to affix it to any surface you choose.

It was officially launched at this years Design Indaba Expo, and was sold out within an hour of the 3 DAY event.

The most insane thing is that it’s so affordable! It’s only R445.00 per light with FREE delivery within +-10km’s of Cape Town or R50 for nationwide postage.

Today I had the pleasure of hosting stylist Helena Sheridan and Photographer Mareli Esterhuizen as part of their ‘In Your Space’ project.

The duo travel to creative homes and essentially play house, styling and snapping vignettes and curious oddities, both abound here.

While they snapped away I was working the kitchen preparing us a 3-course meal.

We ate an heirloom tomato caprese salad, a bresola, rocket, grilled asparagus sandwich on sourdough with free range poached eggs from the garden and a Thai infused chicken salad, perfect for the scorching day we had… now if only I’d not forgotten the wine!

I can’t wait to see what they came up with, but while we wait take a look at these stunning pics they took of my lovely friend Thaya’s old house.
