Adam Frank’s Reveal Light Projects a ‘Daylit’ Window on Any Wall
What if installing a new window to brighten up a dark interior was as simple as flicking a switch? That’s the concept behind Adam Frank ‘s Reveal Light – a tiny projector that creates the illusion of a daylit window upon any darkened wall. The projector can be placed on a shelf or mounted directly to a wall or ceiling, and it can depict a variety of softly flowing foliage – from tree branches to palm fronds.

Willem Heeffer Creates Upcycled Heinz Beanz Can Chandeliers for Helsinki’s Midhill Restaurant
Dutch designer Willem Heeffer used 334 recycled cans to create a series of luminous upcycled chandeliers and furnishings for Top Chef Hans Välimäki’s new Midhill American diner in Helsinki, Finland. Heeffer collected the tins from local restaurants, cleaned them, and then transformed them into fork and knife holders, bar lights, a floor-to-ceiling storage display and three chandeliers. The chandeliers are made from 21 Heinz Beanz classic cans each. The lamps fit perfectly into the interior designed by Martina Rosenqvist and Vera Öller , who used old corrugated roof panels to clad the bars. The single Heinz Beanz can that started it all is for sale at Willem Heeffer ‘s website. + Willem Heeffer The article above was submitted to us by an Inhabitat reader.
