About me, Zachary A. Martz, and my life of phantom influence…. I know this a bit disappointing but I haven’t gotten to this page yet.

Light Drop – Rafael Morgan

The Light Drop is supposed to make people think about how we are
dealing with our natural resources, in this particular case, the water,
which is the main source of energy for every living organism in this
fantastic world. Water is energy indeed.

This wall-mounted lighting element illuminates the custom-molded polycarbonate bulb with an embedded, dimmable LED in the faucet, which is intuitively controlled by the tap – the more you twist, the more light you get – which also is a good way to contextualize energy use (though at a greatly reduced rate, compared to an incandescent version of the same design.
This design won the Third Prize in the Bright LED international design competition, by design boom.
It´s currently being sold and produced by Wever & Ducre, with the help from my great partners and friends from the fabulous Studio Mango!

Barneby Gates Wallpaper

Quintessentially English with a twist is the best way to describe these gorgeous designs from Barneby Gates. These new kids on the printing block produce beautiful wallpapers that embrace the past with a distinctive contemporary wit. Patterns show typical English influences of country houses, floral decor and heraldry, but on closer inspection have design details that merit a double take

Jude Law rocks as Hamlet

Jude Law rocks as Hamlet

The prospect of Jude Law playing Hamlet was one that left us a bit intrigued/anxious/overwhelmed. Could he pull it off? I mean, it is a demanding character that has daunted such acting luminaries as Dame Kenneth Branagh and Dame Daniel Day Lewis. Well, we can report Jude’s sexily brattish Hamlet rocked the shit. We saw him on Tuesday in the Donmar production at the Wyndham’s Theatre in London’s West End. Penelope Wilton as Gertrude had the right amount of maternal remorse and the chemistry between her and Jude was overwhelming. It was quite a cinematic production, deploying an impressive array of lighted, music and snow. The clothes were also achingly on-trend, with all the cast looking like they had raided MUJI and All Saints before treading the boards. But all these de jour touches didn’t detract from the harrowing momentum of the tragedy. Hamlet is only on for tomorrow (Saturday 22 August at 2.30pm and 7.30pm) before it transfers over to Broadway. Sadly, tickets have completely sold out. Woe. But panic not. A handful of standing seats will be released tomorrow morning. You’ll probably have to start queuing at five am to get a ticket, but if you like your tragedies served up in a poisoned chalice, it’s worth the early start. Seriously.
