Melt Modern by Evan Orensten
Matt Proctor and Aixé Djelal are Portland based cast aluminum artisans who create a range of one-of-a-kind decoratives and architectural elements. Aixé describes their work as "molten lava frozen in space," and that's pretty accurate. Their work exhibits an unusual blend of organic shapes, voluptuous lines and surface texture, and is made entirely of recycled aluminum.
Melt Modern products and information about custom work is available online.
We were a bit slow weeding through our inbox, so you may have caught their work on a few other sites in the last few days: Charles & Marie, Product Dose, Designsponge, Urbanzeitgeist.

Lumisty

As office space becomes tighter, we're crammed in closer quarters without an ounce of privacy. But Lumisty gives us some respite from the panopticon gaze of our fellow workers. The folks at Glass Film Enterprises have developed a glass pane...
