During their lifetime Arne Jacobsen and Paul Kjaerholm (1929-80) were seen as antagonists but they both introduced new forms and materials to Danish design. Kjaerholm in particular through his almost exclusive use of steel created sleek and restrained pieces of furniture. His preference for steel is all the more surprising as Kjaerholm was a trained carpenter who also attended the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen.

From the mid-1950s on he developed a range of plywood furniture for his friend Ejvind Kold Christiansen but in parallel he also turned to steel as a medium to realize furniture that sounds out the relationship between body, materials and space.

How these designs came about, what inspired Kjaerholm and what he sought to achieve with his design are questions answered in the present monograph: „Paul Kjaerholm“, edited by Christoffer Harlang and published by Arkitektens Forlag in 1999. Besides offering very interesting insights into the work of the designer, mostly documented in beautiful photographs by Keld Helmer-Petersen, the book also sheds light on Kjaerholm the architect who accounts for a number of stunning exhibition designs. Beyond that the monograph also contains a list of the master’s work that is handy for quick referencing. A wonderful book that is as informative and insightful as it is beautiful. Highly recommended!

ALPH

Ann Linn Palm Hansen, ALPH’s artistic practice searches for ways to think and ways to relate, where shape and color are used as a tool to create a universal language.

Ann Linn Palm Hansen's two watercolor series consist of color studies based on the primary colors blue, red and yellow. In the individual works, Palm Hansen investigates how colors can be used to create three-dimensional spaces and objects through variation of color shades, strength and shapes. This is particularly evident in the large watercolours, where the basic shapes square, circle and triangle vibrate between appearing as two- and three-dimensional respectively through the use of the intensity of the colours.

In hall 4, Palm Hansen has created a sculptural object that also supports her color studies, and the work thus creates a connection to the two series in hall 2. The object is made of painted paper shaped like a large spiral, built according to the principles of the golden spiral that can be enlarged infinitely according to the Fibonacci number system. In nature, similar spiral patterns are seen in sunflower flowers and the florets in cauliflower heads.

Ann Linn Palm Hansen was born in Denmark and currently lives in Tåsinge. She is trained as a designer from the Design School in Kolding and the Design Academy Eindhoven, but in her practice has primarily worked with color theory and research, which is expressed and translated into watercolour, drawing, painting, sculpture and writing.

Design Proposal for Transformation of Designskolen Kolding - Designed by @mikkelsen_architects in collaboration with @skalaarchitecture_, Ingeniørfirmaet VIGGO MADSEN A/S, Ballinger Acoustics og Frandsen & Søndergaard K/S. First and last visuals by @ramka_co "At @designskolenkolding, the students have just vacated their usual premises, as the school grounds will now start to undergo the physical transformation - the facades, windows, the interior spaces. Our proposal for the #transformation and #renovation of the #school, which was awarded 2. place in the competition, was based on the vision of creating viable frameworks for learning, creative expression, and value-creating relationships between people. With a focus on connections, functionality, and #sustainability, we have proposed a densification and a new organization of the #design school’s main building, which at once accommodates the school’s professional directions and at the same time provides the opportunity for a coherent learning #environment on each floor. Environments that range from immersion at your own worktable to the physical production and testing of the ideas in the workshops. We suggested that the school’s transformation and new look will be visible from the moment of arrival, where the new #facade exposes the new #wooden structures that span all the way from floor to ceiling. The school’s new workshop areas are more open, though an integrated arrival platform that ties the outside and inside together and that can act as a presentation area for the work of the Design School’s students." . ⭕ What do you think about this design and visualization? 🔻Tag your Architect Friends! . ❌Turn ON Post Notifications to see new Contents.❗ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #architecture #schooldesign #architecturecompetition #architecturalcompetition (at Kolding, Denmark) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cow-rajM0qZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BTS w/B&PC Part 2

 Click here for Behind the Scenes with Bee and PuppyCat Part 1

Now that Bee and PuppyCat: Lazy in Space is scheduled to drop on Netflix,  September 6, 2022, I thought I would share some of my recollections as to how this special series of Natasha Allegri’s came to be. –Fred Seibert

Natasha Allegri is an amazing artist, as we saw in her work for “Adventure Time,” but when we got a look at the “Adventure Time with Fionna & Cake” comics that she had written and drawn we realized that her years of doing web comics had matured her into a fantastic storyteller as well. So, we were almost as disappointed in turning down her “Bee and PuppyCat” short as she. 

Natasha is a  walker, and after she pitched her cartoon to Frederator’s Eric Homan she started the four mile trek back to her Burbank apartment. Little did she know that Eric, always open to more feedback from co-workers, had emailed Carrie Miller in our New York office to get her take on the board. Both of my colleagues had heard me say tongue-in-cheek “the internet loves cats. If there’s a cat in the pitch, say ‘yes!’ without even looking at it.”

Carrie took one look, called Eric immediately. “We have to do this cartoon!” Eric heard her loud and clear, and before Natasha got home he’d already left a message on her machine. “We’ve made a terrible mistake. Of course, we’ll make ‘Bee and PuppyCat!’”

Production can always be a slog, and especially when our creators haven’t worked in animation or film before. Almost always over the 250 shorts that I’ve produced, the creators have often only made a few films at school, worked on particular sections of commercial films (character designing, storyboards, etcetera) but not running productions, or increasingly in the past few years, never worked directly on any films. Natasha had done thousands of drawings, hundreds of comics, been a revisionist on Adventure Time, but had rarely worked in film. 

Luckily, her time on Pen’s show and Kevin Kolde and Eric Homan to put together a fantastic team, including superstar director Larry Leichliter, who we’d worked with for years and was the supervising director on AT.

The only hiccup I can remember resulted in us doing something brand new. Usually, our first time creators pitches were way longer than the 5-7 minute shorts we were making (Craig McCracken’s The Powerpuff Girls’ “Meat Fuzzy Lumkins” was initially a 20 minute board), and our SOP was to not greenlight a production until the board was producible at the right length. In the case of PuppyCat, we liked Natasha’s stories so much we agreed to make it a two-parter, a first for my shorts.

We released the two shorts in the summer of 2013 and the results were almost instantaneous! Immediately the audience at Cartoon Hangover shot up, and what had been a channel with 70% men went to 50/50 men and women. (My wife, who rarely commented on my productions, within a minute into the first short said, “This cartoon is the best one you’ve done since 'he Powerpuff Girls!’”)

But, now what?! We had a success, but... would any network or streamer want the show?

Bryan Caselli: The Frederator Interview

Bryan Caselli is a Storyboard Artist, Writer and Renaissance Faire enthusiast. Following tenure on top-notch cartoons including Star vs. the Forces of Evil and Sanjay and Craig, ‘twas our good fortune when he set sail to Costume Quest as co-Executive Producer, with a treasure trove of story skillz in tow. Here, Bryan provides his advice to young artists, fav things about Costume Quest, and remarkably realistic take on a 17th century Swashbuckler and his Mer-Lassy.

When did you know that you wanted a career in animation?

My friends and family were alway super supportive of my drawing when I was little, but I got really focused on art in high school. I had an amazing teacher named Kevin McGovern who encouraged me to apply to the California State Summer School for the Arts. CSSSA was a four week residency arts summer program on CalArts’ campus featuring many different disciplines. I studied in the animation department, and it was like I finally found my people. After those four weeks, I knew I wanted to work in animation, and I wanted to go to school at CalArts. There was no turning back.

(Every day is Halloween for the CQ crew! But this day was actually Halloween.)

Where are you from, and how did you chart your path to CalArts?

I'm originally from Sacramento, California. It's a legitimately sized city, but it still has a small town vibe that's warm and welcoming. I applied to CalArts straight out of high school, but didn't get in on my first try. I actually didn't apply to any other schools. My plan was to just apply again the next year, but my mom secretly applied for me to CSU Sacramento as a somewhat, "What if he doesn't get into CalArts for ten years?" worst case scenario backup plan. After swallowing the tough pill of not getting into my dream school, I took a collection of figure drawing, portrait drawing, painting, and art history classes at both Sac State and Sac City college. I didn't stay long enough to earn a degree. Luckily, I was accepted into CalArts the following year.

How did you decide you wanted to storyboard and write?

I got into animation thinking I wanted to be a character designer. It seemed to be the most glamorous position at the time, but I found out quickly that you have to be an exceptional draftsman to do that job, which I'm not. I fell in love with the story department in my 3rd and 4th years at CalArts. I had some awesome teachers who really set me on the path that I'm on now.

What do you love most about the job?

I can't get enough of stuff like mythic structure, archetypal symbolism, and fable storytelling. I really get excited by just how universal storytelling is. It can connect you with anyone. That's easily my favorite part of my work.

What was your first job in animation or art, and how’d you land it?

I interned on Regular Show. I actually went in to interview for a different show, but on my way out, I ran into Ben Adams, the Regular Show character designer and my former classmate. He told me to blow those other guys off and come work with him. He introduced me to Regular Show's Producer, Janet Dimon, and we really hit it off. She offered me the position soon after that. At the end of my internship, I pitched the storyboards for my student film, Scout Wars. After the pitch, someone from development came up to me and said, "You need to pitch this upstairs." That's how I got my second gig.

The show was never produced, but getting paid to develop my original concept that early in my career really set in stone my desire to run a show of my own some day. I even got to work with our future Costume Quest Art Director, Ricky Cometa, on the development poster.  After that, I did about a year and a half of full-time freelance, which eventually lead me to work with the creators of Sanjay and Craig on some of their punk side projects. I really liked working with those guys, so when they asked me to come on Sanjay, it was an easy choice.

That’s awesome. Was Sanjay the first show you wrote and boarded for? How is it to work on a board driven show?

Yep, Sanjay was the first TV show that I got to write and storyboard on. Both writing and storyboarding is really demanding, but it's also really rewarding. Nick Bachman (Costume Quest's previously interviewed Supervising Producer) was my Storyboard Director on Sanjay, and we really clicked as a team. Sanjay and Craig was a perfect show to be board driven because it was super cartoony and there were very few rules. It was a great opportunity for board teams to have their specific voices heard. When you watch an episode of Sanjay and Craig you can pretty much spot which teams did which episodes from a mile away.

How was writing on Star vs the Forces of Evil - is it board driven too?

Writing on Star was an awesome change of pace coming off of Sanjay. Daron Nefcy was a great leader to work for, and I became really close with my fellow writers. It was board driven, which made the transition from storyboarding to outline writing a lot more of a doable task for me. I was comfortable in that kind of production pipeline and pretty much knew what would be expected of me as a writer. The coolest part about working on Star was that it was a seasonally arcing, somewhat mythic story. It was so cool to get to craft a large story over multiple episodes. I took a lot of lessons learned writing on Star and brought them with me to the writers' room on Costume Quest.

Is it odd being a bit of a ~star~ yourself, considering you have a whole fan page and everything?!

Oh boy, having a fan wiki page is a strange feeling. It's really cool to be apart of a show that has such a passionate fanbase, but honestly I don't want to be a star. Star Butterfly is the star of Star.  

You’re Costume Quest’s co-Executive Producer. What does the job entail? 

Being the co-EP on Costume Quest means I, along with the rest of our leadership team, am responsible to supervise just about every stage of production. From writing to storyboarding, animatics to art, voice acting and voice casting, logo design, score, sound effects, the list goes on and on. I got to script a handful of episodes. Nick and I storyboarded the first episode. Occasionally I do some (very rough) first pass character designs. I also draw story board punch-ups and animation redline revisions on the episodes I direct. I direct the first story of each of Costume Quest's two part episodes, and Nick directs the second story. Beyond that I mainly keep my eye on the larger narrative of the show, making sure everything is tonally consistent and the story threads line up. If every person that works on this show is making one tree, I try to make sure the forest is working as a whole. I do my best not to force any artist to execute their assignments exactly as I would have, but instead, encourage them to showcase their personal artistic voices.

How have you enjoyed working on Costume Quest, and what do you like most about the show?

Working on Costume Quest has been my favorite gig yet. I am really grateful to Will (McRobb), Kevin (Kolde), and Eric (Homan) for bringing me onboard. I'm super proud of how much the show grows across the first season. The scale, the emotional stakes, and the world building just get bigger and bigger with every episode. Beyond that, having the chance to lead a team has been incredibly rewarding. Our whole crew is so talented, and they are all so supportive of the show. It has really meant a lot to me to learn that these people, who I respect tremendously, are happy to come in to work every day and are proud to help tell this story. I can't overstate how good it feels to know I have a creatively and professionally satisfied crew.

Do you have a favorite character on CQ?

I love all four of the main kids, but my favorite character really is Norm. I always say that he's a cross between Fred Flintstone and Santa Clause. He's such an emotionally vulnerable character, and he's got some great reveals attached to his backstory. Fred Tatasciore also does some incredible voice acting as Norm, so if this show only gets one award ever, it should go to Fred's performance.

Since developing Scout Wars, have you gone out pitching other original ideas?

I’ve pitched Scout Wars and a handful of other show ideas around to the big studios, but when Costume Quest came about, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to learn everything I needed to about the responsibilities of a show runner—without the added emotional pressure of having the show be about my childhood, or my relationship with my father, or whatever. I have a handful of ideas in my back pocket that I'm eager to start pitching again whenever Costume Quest comes to a close.

What are your favorite cartoons?

Not including the shows I've worked on: original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman the Animated Series, Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, Doug, Hey Arnold!, SpongeBob, Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, Archer, Flintstones, the Peanuts specials, and the original Power Rangers gets a non-cartoon honorable mention because the the influence that show had on me and Costume Quest is pretty undeniable.

What is your advice to people who want to write and/or storyboard for animation? 

Study the craft as hard as you can. It's not about networking, or Internet likes, or whatever. If you get as good as you possibly can at the craft, you'll be golden. Take any job that will hire you. Once you get any position anywhere, if you show everyone you work with just how dedicated you are, people will take notice, and they'll want to help you.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I really love hosting backyard BBQ's and parties at my place. My friends tease me that I'd rather they come to me than I go anywhere else pretty much 100% of the time. You can find me most Sunday mornings at any of the LA flea markets with my girlfriend, Madison, looking for more knick knacks to put up in our place. Also, I take my Renaissance Faire costuming pretty seriously. Yearly upgrades are planned months in advance. My mom always sewed my Halloween costumes growing up, so costumes somehow became a thing I really like to do. I guess it's fitting that Costume Quest came my way.

Have anything to say to future fans of Costume Quest?

Watch it again! We did our best to set up, pay off, and foreshadow as much as possible in the season so it would be fun to rewatch. There are a lot of little easter eggs in there. I hope fans enjoy it. ☆

No doubt, they will. Thank you for the interview Bryan, and for your fantastic work on Costume Quest!  Follow Bryan on Instagram.

In its latest lurch to the far right, Denmark plans to send refugees back to Syria They did not speak a word of Danish yet the Scandinavian country was an outpost of calm for the siblings, who fled the destruction and death that followed the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011. On arriving in 2015, it only took them a year to learn the language, and now Dania is months away from finishing high school in the Danish port of Kolding. “We were very happy at the beginning and felt safe being here,” Dania, who hopes to work in bio-medicine, said. “We [wanted] a good future, therefore we did everything [we could] to learn Danish.” The siblings asked CNN to withhold their last name due to concerns for family members back in Syria. Hussam, 20, described Denmark as a place of peace, a country where his family felt at home, and “a society that gives you the freedom to live the way you want.” He hoped to study engineering or medicine once he completed high school next year. Those dreams were dashed when Denmark became the first democratic European nation to tell Syrian refugees originating from Damascus and its surrounding countryside to return to the war-torn nation. In 2019, the Danish government began reviewing the residency permits of refugees who came from Damascus — a move based on its assessment that the conditions there had improved and it was therefore safe for refugees to return. In February, it was announced they were also reviewing the status of several hundred Syrian refugees from Damascus’ surrounding region. But critics say the policy of stripping Syrians of residency permits is the latest salvo aimed at Denmark’s non-White refugee and immigrant community. While fighting has subsided considerably in the region around Damascus, activists say the Danish government is actively putting Syrians in harm’s way. “We disagree with the decision to deem the Damascus area, or any other area [in Syria], safe for refugees,” Charlotte Slente, the secretary general of the Danish Refugee Council, told CNN. “We have knowledge from various reports of arbitrary detention and ongoing civil rights abuses of the civilian population in Syria,” she added, citing a March Human Rights Council report, which found that the Syrian government’s policy and acts “amount to crimes against humanity [and] have continued unabated for nearly 10 years, without any sign that the government intends to discontinue them.” The Danish minister for immigration and integration, Mattias Tesfaye, defended the policy in a statement to CNN, saying that “Denmark has been open and honest from day one” that residence permits for Syrian refugees are “temporary, and that the permit can be revoked if the need for protection ceases to exist.” “The approach of the Danish government is to provide protection to those in need of it, but when the conditions in their home country have improved, former refugees should return to the home country and reestablish their life there,” Tesfaye added. Dania and Hussam’s family have been caught in the dragnet. The Danish Immigration Service uprooted their lives in February by refusing to extend their father’s residency permit, which their own visas are linked to, according to their lawyer Daniel Nørrung. Dania and Hussam had been told to leave Denmark by March 5, but with the help of a lawyer, the family is challenging the decision with the Refugee Appeals Board. “It’s a bit problematic, Dania and Hussam were given a date to leave Denmark when their father’s case has not even been finalized,” Nørrung told CNN. If the appeals board upholds the immigration service’s decision, the family will be stripped of their rights to study, work or live in the country. This mean they risk being sent to one of two deportation facilities — known as “departure centers” — for people who have been refused asylum and refugees like them who have lost their status. “We are going to languish in a center, where people are broken down, humiliated and held in helplessness and hopelessness, instead of being able to go out and contribute to society,” Dania said. Uprooting lives The Danish government has refused to extend the residency permits of least 300 Syrian refugees since 2019, after its security assessment concluded that the situation in Damascus was “no longer so serious.” Authorities are currently reexamining the protection of more than 400 more Syrian refugees living in the country, according to figures given to CNN by the Ministry of Immigration and Integration. This is part of a self-described paradigm shift of Danish refugee policy, said Nikolas Feith Tan, a refugee law expert at the Danish Institute of Human Rights. The move has seen successive governments enact legislative amendments that have shifted the country’s focus from the integration and permanent protection of refugees to the kind of temporary residency permits Dania and Hussam were placed under. In January, the country’s left-wing Social Democrat Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reiterated her party’s intention to be as restrictive on immigration as her right-wing predecessors, telling parliament the goal was to have “zero asylum seekers.” Frederiksen adopted a hardline stance on immigration in the run-up to Denmark’s 2019 election, luring voters away from the right-wing populist Danish People’s Party (DPP). After winning the election, the Social Democrat party is “locked in now” to prove it is not soft on immigration, or it risks drawing the ire of right-wing parties or the electorate, Kristina Bakkær Simonsen, an associate professor at Aarhus University, who specializes in immigrant integration, discrimination and stigmatization, told CNN. While the Danish government “cannot carry out forced returns” as it does not have diplomatic relations with Syria, “the government’s clear hope is that this group of people will choose to return voluntarily, which some Syrians already have done,” Tan added. To help with the move “a bag of money from the Danish state” is provided to the voluntary Syrian returnees, the immigration and integration minister Tesfaye has said. His ministry told CNN the financial support is around $28,150, and since 2019 more than 250 Syrian refugees have taken the financial support package. But activists say Syrians are being compelled to return by the Danish government’s efforts to make life intolerable for those without residency rights. The deportation centers Dania and Hussam dread entering “are like torture, designed to break people down,” Michala Clante Bendixen, the head of Refugees Welcome Denmark, told CNN. The centers are partially open, which means their occupants are able to move in and out freely, said Bendixen. But the occupants have to check in every evening, and have no income, rights to employment or access to public housing. One center is around four miles from the nearest bus stop, making it impossible for anyone to leave in the day. “There are no activities, no training courses, you can’t even cook your own food,” Bendixen said, noting that even in prison there are opportunities to make money. Instead of returning to their country of origin, refugees sometimes “go underground” and flee to other European countries “where they will try and reopen their asylum cases,” Bendixen said. Targeting immigrants and refugees In recent years, Denmark has rolled out some of the harshest anti-immigrant policies in Europe, including a so-called jewelry bill that allows the government to take certain assets from asylum seekers to contribute to the country’s welfare state. In 2017, the former Liberal Party immigration minister Inger Stojberg celebrated the passage of another law that tightened immigration controls with cake. The following year, a decade-old proposal by the right-wing populist DPP to ban face coverings in public came into force, essentially criminalizing Muslim women who wear the niqab or burqa. In 2019, the government forced social and ethnic change in 15 low-income housing estates across the country — which it called “hard ghettos” and which Danish regulations define partly according to the races of residents. This year, the authorities said it would drop the term “ghetto” but expand the law to prevent the growth of such enclaves. The aim is that by the end of the decade, “residents with non-Western backgrounds” can only comprise up to 30% of any neighborhood in Denmark, according to a press release from the Interior and Housing Ministry. “For far too many years, we have closed our eyes to the development that was underway, and only acted when the integration problems became too great,” housing minister Kaare Dybvad Bek said in a statement. “We will do this by preventing more vulnerable housing areas and by creating more mixed housing areas throughout Denmark.” But the government is not succeeding in escaping the scrutiny that “they are trying to avoid by renaming ghetto areas, when they keep prioritizing ethnicity as the prime criterion” of these policies, Simonsen told CNN. ‘Copying the far right’ Critics say the governing coalition, which is led by the Social Democrats, is copying the language of the Danish far right. “Denmark is strong when it comes to rights and solidarity; burden sharing and economic equality; fair governance and no corruption,” Bendixen said. “In that way, it is very surprising and very paradoxical we have this growing xenophobia and also managed to make … clearly discriminatory laws” for refugees and immigrants, she said. Some maintain that, at its core, Denmark’s identity is tied to its White heritage — something reflected in official statistics, which divides the population into three categories: “persons of Danish origins,” “immigrants,” and “descendants of immigrants.” This means that second-generation immigrants, who are naturalized Danish citizens, are not counted officially in the Danish category. Last year, the immigration and integration minister Tesfaye announced a new classification for people from primarily Muslim countries. The category, called MENAPT, will include people from or with heritage from Middle Eastern and North African countries as well as Pakistan and Afghanistan. “It will provide a clearer picture of how people from 24 countries, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa, who have played a major role in immigration to Denmark, cope in relation to, for example, crime and employment,” a government statement wrote. What it shows, Bendixen said, is that there appears to be “two sets of laws” in Denmark: “One set for ‘the real Danes,’ and one set for the ‘others who don’t belong here.'” While analysts have noted that Danish political discourse on immigrants is extremely negative compared to other European countries, the policy of removing the refugee status of Syrians has been controversial in the country. The plight of young Danish-speaking Syrians have filled the pages of the country’s largest broadsheets and Facebook groups have been set up to campaign for them to remain. The action has also made the country an outlier among its closest allies. In March, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the UN Security Council that it was “not in the interest of the Syrian people to pressure Syrian refugees to return to Syria, including to regime-held areas, where many fear they will be arbitrary detained, tortured, or even killed by Assad’s security forces in retaliation for fleeing.” “We agree with the UN that refugee returns must be voluntary, well-informed, and should ensure the safety and dignity of the people involved — or else they should not happen,” Blinken added. But Denmark does not appear to be reconsidering the move. “The government’s policy is working, and I won’t back down, it won’t happen,” immigration minister Tesfaye told Agence France Presse. In a statement to CNN he pointed to reports by the UK Home Office, the European Union’s Asylum Office and the Swedish government that said the security situation in Damascus had improved. However, neither of those nations are repatriating Syrians to the Damascus region, while the EU does not recommend doing so. All Hussam and Dania want to do is remain in Denmark. But instead of worrying about exams and other everyday concerns like their Danish friends, the siblings now fear their family may face repercussions on returning to Syria for “turning our backs” against the regime. Hussam also stands the risk of being conscripted into the Syrian army, he said. “Syria is not safe, and will not be safe no matter what city it is, as long as a dictator rules it,” he said.

Bachelor Project: Read Me

Originally a website.

My graduation project at Design School Kolding. I wanted to create a learning platform for foreign students learning Danish (and vice versa). It's a reading platform specifically made for smartphones, with relatively easy articles about Denmark and Danes' habits. “If you have trouble understanding something, tap the paragraph and it will display a translation.” There's also a word list as well as a recording from a native speaker reading the article aloud.

I made everything in this project myself. Please note that all articles have placeholder text.

DESKTOP NIGHT-LAMP ALSO WIRELESSLY CHARGES YOUR SMARTPHONE

A portmanteau of the phrases desktop night-Lamp and Balance, the Lance night-mild and wi-fi-charger is the sort you’d prevent to appreciate for 2 reasons. Firstly, it’s a cute, old fashion product that sits obediently to your tabletop. However on the equal time, it expenses your telecellsmartphone. So that you’re now no longer distracting with the aid of using a display screen. The Lance desktop night-lamp created as a task with the aid of using Francesco Brunetti whilst he became a pupil at Design School Kolding, Denmark as a collaboration with IKEA. The short became to layout ‘furnishings for small areas which have to have playful traits in addition to foster togetherness’, and the Lance sincerely delivers.
