Dutch designer Pepe Heykoop has created a paper cover to turn any glass jar or bottle into a faceted vase, sold to help impoverished women in Mumbai make a living.

Each Paper Vase is handmade by the women of the Pardeshi community in Mumbai’s red light district. The workshop was founded by Pepe Heykoop and the Tiny Miracles Foundation, which was set up by his cousin. “The ultimate goal is to pull this 700-person community out of poverty by providing healthcare, education and jobs within eight years.”

Cinema Done Right…

…it’s Friday, and many of us enjoy going to the movies over the weekend.  In Chicago, we are fortunate to have a scattering of neighborhood cinemas, but most have disappeared and have  been replaced by mega multiplexes.  I  find going to the movies can be stressful in these enormous movie houses.  Well, it’s time to breathe and relax…

…Ciné 32 is a timber-clad, five-screen cinema in the south of France by Encore Heureux.

…Ciné 32 evokes both the arched facades of art deco picture houses and the herringbone walls of local tobacco-drying sheds.

…”Rather than a large infrastructure-type multiplex, we wanted to create the image of a collection of small neighbourhood cinemas together,” explains Encore Heureux.

…the architects comment: “Cinema has this unique opportunity to gather different people for a common but yet unusual journey. We wish to offer remarkable conditions for such a trip.”

…each theatre boasts a different color…

…enjoy…
