London-based illustration collective Peepshow has an amazing selection of art prints for sale on their website. The prints are made in a limited edition of 30 and are all signed and numbered by the artists.

My favorites are Set Sail by Luke Best (pictured above center, £50), House by Lucy Vigrass (pictured above right, £50) and Vessels by Jenny Bowers (£75), which are individually hand finished with gold leaf detailing.

Destined to become treasured keepsakes, these prints make lovely gifts and are a great way to support the art and design community.

Bagjack, well-known for their utility bags in Europe and Japan, collaborated with our friends at Beinghunted to create the 1-B Messenger bag back in 2005. This year, they reissued it for the holidays, but bigger! In fact, it fits a shoe box plus some.

The innovative three-point strap system enables one pull tightening of the shoulder strap, perfect for when you're on your bike. Lightweight but durable, it's a good-looking (and more importantly) highly-functional bag.

Available from The Glade, it's unfortunately already sold out but there should be more stock in early January. It's worth the wait.

Rafael Morgan is an industrial designer in Brazil whose work, like the Light Drop and the Puzzle Revisited Chair, has been getting some attention of late. His whole portfolio is full of interesting pieces, but we were disappointed to learn that some of the most interesting ones are still prototypes, as it is difficult to find a company willing to produce innovative designs in Brazil. When we thought about it, we realized that little is heard about Brazilian design, save for the fantastic Campana brothers, so we asked Rafael some of his views on the present situation in Brazil for designers who want to break out. Rafael gave us some insight into the scene, all of it from the heart.



Light Drop

As a designer in Brazil, what do you feel are the major obstacles to getting your work produced? What do you think of the success of the Campana brothers?
Well, there are so many obstacles here that it is hard to name them all. It seems that most major Brazilian companies are afraid to innovate, you know, they make a lot of money producing classic or poorly designed products. There are a lot of good designers in Brazil, but most of them are unemployed or are forced to design mediocre stuff in their jobs. It's very frustrating- believe me, I WAS one of those. But I will never give up. I really believe that I was born to do what I do and will keep doing it until the end of my days.

I think the only chance of success for innovative and avant-garde Brazilian designers is to try to design for more industrialized and open minded countries and thatīs what I have been trying to do. That's what happened with Humberto and Fernando Campana. They are very talented artists (designers), they have style, identity and some guy from Italy really believed in their work. Thereīs absolutely no market for their work in Brazil but some of their designs are worshiped out there, in art museums and millionaires' houses all over the world. I have no words to describe Campana's work...It's just amazing, creative and different from everything else in the market.

More lighting highlights from 100% Design include an intricate spiral/floral shell surrounding a cluster of lit globes by Lothair Hamman and the multicoloured striped steel and aluminium table lamp, PXL, by Fredrik Mattson. The Cactus Chandelier by Wanju Kim consists of several external electrode fluorescent lamps and the Standard 21 by Bocci has shades of thin white porcelain enveloping blown glass cones. Studio Make Light presented one of their Pong designs and another Tom Dixon offering was the Punch Light. Jason Bruges created an interactive light installation called the Light Garden in collaboration with Greenpeace to highlight energy-efficient bulbs. More pictures after the jump.
