I found out about Joao Sabino whilst looking at the keyboard bag (shown below) which led me to his website and in turn, a large section of some of his awesome designs.

I think the way he reinvents objects, such as the wine glasses, is really fresh and actually different, for once showing you *can* reinvent the wheel. I also love the helium light a LOT - but I do feel it's one of those pieces we would desire for ages and then, after shelling out a small fortune, realise it simply does not work in a normal house...
