string theory

I love a bit a string incorporated into a design! Anything with lines of string remind me of my grandmother's house with this great 70's string artwork! Lately I have been stumbling across lots of interesting designs, here are a few standouts.

although not technically string, the acapulco chair is string weave inspired to me!

And now I can't resist showing lots and lots of lights, all using string/wool in some form!

 love the woven string flex combined with the clear glass light bulb, beautiful simplicity!

the 'matt' light by llot llov comes with a long line of flex to play with, and generally drape over things!
using an energy efficient light bulb, with little heat emitted makes for a cosy light installation!
