Solarise – Watch the sun rise on your lamp

Lauren Moriarty, lighting designer extraordinaire, will be releasing her Solarise lamp next month at the London Design Festival.
The Solarise lamp has a shade has a thermochromic layer of printed skyline that reacts to heat. So once you turn the lamp on, the shade gradually lets more light through, giving the effect of the sun rising.
I would imagine this could be a great way to wake up each morning. Just plug the lamp in to a timer that turns the lamp on at a certain time each day so you are lovingly awaken by the light instead of that blaring alarm.

This spring3d chandelier is rather simplistic and modern with its exposed bulbs and simple construction.

Wait…you want to know what that thing is? Oh yeah. It’s a handheld vacuum cleaner! How cool is that?
