Have you summoned the good fairy? More precisely, a "good fairy" named Přemislav (Przemek) from Poland, which with one … well, a few dozen hand movements can turn a pumpkin into an amazing, stunningly beautiful table or wall lamp. There are no analogues and will never be, since all this is manual and very painstaking work. On the Internet, Przhemek's works are known under the brand name Calabarte … For several centuries, pumpkin has been used to make all kinds of products, from drums and maracas to accessories and household items. In particular, this fruit (in English, pumpkin is "gourd fruit") is popular in Asian and African countries, but in our latitudes it finds a worthy use. So, the Calabarte studio first gutts and then dries the pumpkins in a special way so that the shell is practically stiff, then the resulting frame is processed so that insects do not eat it, and a magical transformation begins …
Carved patterns, ornaments, holes and curly paths give the pumpkin lamps an elegant and exotic look, and decorated with multi-colored rhinestones, they are ready to decorate the interior of not only an ordinary apartment, but also the Queen's apartment. Of course, if she understands a lot about art and loves such simple and at the same time original art objects that can not only decorate, but also be useful in everyday life.
Each luminaire made in Calabarte is individual. There is no second such thing and will not be, since there are no two identical pumpkins, and the imagination of the masters will not allow the repetition of certain patterns. In addition to openwork-carved lamps, Przhemek turns pumpkins into globes, planets, satellites, which later decorate not only bedside tables, but the entire room as a whole. As soon as the pumpkin lamp is lit, the walls and ceiling of the room will be covered with amazing patterned patterns, and the lamp itself will seem like a magical, magical object. The full collection of pumpkin art lamps can be seen in the online gallery of Studio Calabarte.

Air lamps, cloud lamps, paper lamps
Remember how in the elementary grades of school and in the preparatory group of the kindergarten we had to cut out all sorts of handicrafts from colored paper like snowflakes, Christmas trees, lanterns? It was especially difficult to make flashlights: scissors now and then tried to cut more paper than was needed, and then the flashlight ceased to be as beautiful as the one that the teacher showed. At least that's how it was with me … London-based designer Yu Jordy Fu, apparently, does not have such problems with the manufacture of flashlights

Bookcrossing is a movement that turns the world into a huge library
What do we usually do with the book we read? We put it on the shelf and don't remember it for years. “But why leave it gathering dust if it can be useful to someone,” thought in 2001, Internet expert Ron Hornbaker, and invented bookcrossing, or “freeing books”. A person leaves a book in a park or other public place, another person finds it, reads it, then leaves it himself, and so on
