‘ski-chandelier’ for elamysmatkat by willem heeffer dutch designer willem heeffer has created a hanging ski-chandelier for elamysmatkat, a helsinki-based travel agency with donations from old snow-sport equipment. this colourful up-cycled lamp serves as interior decoration for the office and reflects on what their office’s fun and extreme winter philosophy believes. industrial size bolt hooks function as coat hangers while the gray-scale world map stretches out for five meters to impress the clients. a collection of old picture frames are hung together and painted with the company blue to host a series of vintage posters. the table bases are reused and topped with clean sheets of finnish birch plywood, where the few left over pieces of furniture are moved to the kitchen or given a second life elsewhere.
