Manipulating Light + Weekend Links


On my travels this week I stayed at The California Hotel at Kings Cross in London. A sweet little boutique hotel with bags of personality in a brilliant location. Compact, bright and well decorated rooms at a really decent price - but by far the coolest thing for me was the light manipulation going on outside each room. Pretty nifty effect right? 

I was in the capital again for an exhibition I've been involved with and to visit the Pop Up Flea. And it's finally caught up with me - the late nights, endless travelling for work and no days off have left me without a voice and an ounce of energy. I need to relax. Please do send me over any interesting blogs post + links you've seen this week? Have a good one!

  2. Sounds like a great place. I love that effect.

    And that Northern Lights video is too incredible. I can't believe how gorgeous it is. I'm tearing up. This is the one thing on my bucket list.... I must see the Northern Lights. (Preferably in Iceland.)

  6. It's funny how it's such a popular thing to do, everyone wants to see it. The Southern Lights get missed out don't they! Agreed, Iceland all the way.

  8. That's a really cool effect. Makes you wonder what other shapes would look cool... About your exhausting week, it's important to set your own pace and relax when you need to. That way you won't burn out :)

  9. Wow this hotel looks great. I am actually a huge fan of boutique hotels - they tend to be less expensive than bigger chain hotels too, often times. Still air bnb and hostels are the cheapest they go and it's hard for me to get my boyfriend on board with the whole boutique hotel thing, haha! I guess he just can't understand paying more money just to stay at a place that looks nicer, but as a product designer, I am all about appreciating beautiful interiors and well-designed places. Pop up flea sounded great as well - too bad it wasn't happening next weekend, because I am visiting London then!
