Jan Schreiner is a young Russian designer that created a wonderful design concept for a restaurant called "The Purple Café". The Purple Cafe" won the Grand Prix Award at the International Design-Debute' 2008 competition, the annual interior design event in Russia in nomination for the "Best Interior-Design Concept". The colors are striking in how they create a visual backdrop that creates ambience and invites patrons in. I do enjoy how the colors flow so well from the carpet to the furniture and to the walls. Everything is tied in so well together. This looks like a great place to meet some friends or go out on a date. Website: Jan Schreiner.

From Ivalo Lighting comes "Aliante", a pendant light designed from nautical inspiration. Aliante's shape is much like a seafaring vessel whether a ship or submarine. The pendant light comes in 4' or 5', and because of its length can cover a wide surface area of lighting with a slim design. I like the fact it has a simple overall visual appeal with a touch of style built in as this will not overpower a room where you want to showcase other décor items. Product: here.
