    ***Important***
    The upper prolongation of the rings structure shown in the picture below
    is there NOT to be inserted completely into the sloth.
    Only  a few milimeters must be inserted, enough to hang,
    as the rings are supported also by the lower hook.
    In this way it will not reveal the space
    where the light must not show at the top.
    The Orange ring MUST cover
    the space over the white back structure.
    The Higher the Wattage of the lightbulbs the better it shines.
    Lovely and very unusual ! Danish Modern  Avantgard !
    THE HIGHER THE WATTAGE, THE BETTER IT SHINES.
    For creative souls: You can also adapt alternatively
    a circular lightbulb in the back with lots of neon lumen.
    JUST ASTONISHING !
    By day an sculpture, by night: LIGHT ART !
    "You have noticed that everything
    an Indian does is in a circle,
    and that is because the Power
    of the world always works in circles,
    and everything tries to be round....
    The sky is round, and I have heard
    that the earth is round
    like a ball, and so are the stars.
    The wind, in its greatest power, whirls.
    Birds make their nests in circles,
    for theirs is the same religion as ours...
    Even the seasons form a great circle
    in their changing, and always come
    back again to where they were.
    The life of a man is a circle
    from childhood to childhood,
    and so it is in everything where power moves."

    The Notion of
    Democratic Design
    "The aesthetic form is there for all.
    And not just for the
    museum!"
    This quote from INGVAR KAMPRAD in 1979 stands
    programmatically for the design strategy
    of that company from Southern Sweden, which since
    1948 has grown from a one-man-business
    to become the biggest furniture store in the world
    and shaped the concept of "democratic design"
    like no other. Moreover this sentence  is part of the
    manifesto for danish,  finnish and norwegian design.
    Since the advent of danish modern, the materials
    were available at very  reasonable prices
    Design available for all !

    MAYAKOVSKI: AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE
    My verse will reach you
    across the peaks of ages,
    over the heads
    of governments and poets.
    My verse
    will reach you
    not as an arrow
    in a cupid-lyred chase,
    not as a worn penny
    reaches a numismatist,
    not as the light of dead stars reaches you.
    My verse
    with labor
    will break the mountain chain of years,
    and will present itself
    ponderous,
    crude,
    tangible,
    as an aqueduct,
    by slaves of Rome
    constructed,
    enters into our days.
    When in mounds of books,
    where verse lies buried,
    you discover by chance the iron filings of lines,
    touch them
    with respect,
    as you would
    some antique
    yet awesome weapon.
    Politicians are people who, when they see
    light at the end of the tunnel, order more tunnel.
    - Sir John Quinton
    In winter I get up at night
    And dress by yellow candle-light.
    In summer, quite the other way,
    I have to go to bed by day.
    - Robert Louis Stevenson
    We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.
    - Ben Sweetland
    Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all the others were making ships.
    - Charles Simic
    To love beauty is to see light.
    - Victor Hugo
    Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.
    - Henri Frédéric Amiel
    Why should there be a lamp in every window?
    Because in all this wide city, there is not
    enough light. Because the young in the world
    are crazy for light and the old are afraid
    it will leave them.
    - Lola Haskins
    "I go among the Fields and catch a glimpse
    of a fieldmouse peeping out
    of the withered grass-
    the creature hath a purpose,
    and its eyes are bright with it.
    I go among the buildings of a city
    and see a man hurrying along- to what?
    the creature hath a purpose,
    and his eyes are bright with it."
    -- Keats, 1819
    We love hammocks!
    An Inuit from Greenland (made famous in the danish writer
    Peter Freuchens
    Book of  The Eskimo
    ) hunted
    successfully one day when
    Freuchen came home hungry from an
    unsuccessful walrus-hunting expedition.
    The Eskimo dropped off several hundred
    pounds of meat for Peter.
    He thanked the Eskimo.
    The man objected in dignantly...
    "Up in our country we are human!" said the hunter.
    "And since we are human we help each other.
    We dont like to hear anybody say thanks for that.
    What I get today you may get tomorrow.
    Up here we say that by gifts one makes slaves
    and by whips one makes dogs."
    "Ever since we crawled out of the primor dial slime,
    that's been our unnifying cry, "More Light".
    Sunlight, torchlight. Candle Light.
    Neon, incandescent lights that banish the darkness
    from our caves to iluminate our roads,
    the inside of our refrigerators.
    Little tiny flashlights for those books
    we read under the covers
    when we are supposed to be asleep.
    Light is more than watts and footcandles.
    Light is metaphor. Light is knowledge.
    Light is life. Light is Light".

    Eva Perón, Tribute for all women
    Aniversary of birth of Eva Perón 2019
    Perón ! Perón ! Perón ! Perón !
    “Nadie sino el pueblo me llama Evita. Solamente aprendieron a llamarme así los descamisados. Los hombres de gobierno, los dirigentes políticos, los embajadores, los hombres de empresa, profesionales, intelectuales, etc., que me visitan suelen llamarme señora; y algunos incluso me dicen públicamente Excelentísima o Dignísima Señora y aun a veces, Señora Presidenta. Cuando un pibe me nombra Evita me siento madre de todos los pibes y de todos los débiles y humildes de mi tierra”. -Eva Perón
    “No. No es filantropía, ni es caridad, ni es limosna, ni es solidaridad social, ni es beneficencia. Ni siquiera es ayuda social, aunque por darle un nombre aproximado yo le he puesto ése. Para mí, es estrictamente justicia. Lo que más me indignaba al principio de la ayuda social, era que me la calificasen de limosna o de beneficencia”. -Eva Perón
    “Mi sentimiento de indignación por la injusticia social es la fuerza que me ha llevado de la mano, desde mis primeros recuerdos hasta aquí”. -Eva Perón
