A project

Posted by Robin on 19 December 2025 1 Comment

The supermodel [Kendall Jenner] was first seen with [Ben] Gorham back in September, when the two checked out a bookstore in West Hollywood, sparking dating rumors. While neither party has confirmed a budding romance, they were later photographed together on two other occasions, with yesterday’s day date being their fourth public outing (that we know of).

Some have also speculated that the pair may just been working together on a project for Gorham’s beloved candle and fragrance brand, Byredo, as Jenner has always been a home decor feen.

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 24 April 2025 15 Comments

Very much not my lemming, but presumably it is somebody's: the limited edition Infra Luna 2.0* from Byredo. "[...] Taking inspiration from the insect world and transposing it into bold industrial design, experience, form and function intersect with the INFRA LUNA 2.0 desk lamp, the second collaboration between Ben Gorham and [light artist] Benoit Lalloz. [...] In a hybrid project combining scent and sculptural light design, the surprise is visual but also olfactory. Playing with temperature to release the scent of the candle placed underneath - the heat from the lamp’s halogen bulb melts the candle wax - has a spirit that is part lab, part installation. Creating a gentle halo of light and an additional halo of scent, the INFRA LUNA 2.0 is as inventive as it is intriguing." €2500, includes bulb but not candle, available in pink or silver. [*There was apparently a 1.0 version of this lamp back in 2022; I missed it.]
