🔦 Jony Ive turns a lantern into luxury
Remember when Jony Ive sold us aluminum as art at Apple? Now he’s done it again… with a lantern. For $4800 😅
LoveFrom + Japan’s Balmuda dropped the Sailing Lantern: 1.5 kg of marine-grade stainless steel, CNC milled, precision-cut glass for “perfect diffusion,” water-repellent strap. Built so it won’t rust on a yacht.
Backstory: Ive couldn’t find a lantern tough enough for his boat, so he just designed one himself. Limited run of 1000 units.
Once he gave us iMacs, now it’s a lamp that costs as much as a used Honda Civic. ⛵️
