Sofie Refer’s Mega Bulb

Sofie Refer’s Mega Bulb This could be one of the sleekest looking light fixtures I’ve every seen. The entire design of it is such a basic idea that it’s amazing no one has thought of it before.

Basically it’s a bulb within a bulb with the outer “casing” consisting of a simple layer of glass that surrounds your clear glass light bulb. The final product is crisp light in an artistic form.

Unfortunately you need to be able to read German and have $170 if you’d like to purchase this.

Christopher Kuh’s Nutcracker

Nutcracker

It seems there is a kitchen gadget for just about everything. Soon we’ll need an extra kitchen for the kitchen just to house all the sweetness gadgets we have.

Well, Christopher Kuh’s Nutcracker certainly fits the bill for an extremely specialized gadget, but luckily it takes up hardly any room and looks super sleek.

The Nutcracker was specifically created and designed to hold a walnut and crack it open at it’s natural slit…making your walnut binges nothing but pure pleasure.

Contact Christopher on his website for more info on obtaining one of these works of kitchen art.

Neil Poulton’s Fire-Wire Speakers

Well designed speakers can be hard to come by. A large majority of the home/personal audio world is full of little (and big) black boxes.

Neil Poulton has stepped up the game a bit with his new Fire-Wire Speakers.

These are very will designed but make a point to not overwhelm your space with crazy colors or odd shapes.

At $120, the price point on these is really quite affordable for speakers this nice.

Lumin LED Lamps

Lumin LED Lamp

Sometimes you just want simple accent lighting in places that aren’t necessarily “outlet” accessible. Places like a bathroom, closet, or even outdoors.

The Home Temptations Lumin LED Lamp is the perfect solution for those things.

Available in 4 snazzy colors (Crystal White, Rouge Red, Ocean Blue and Violet), the Lumin LED lamp is made up of a single LED light housed under a piece of colored acrylic that creates smooth mood lighting and casts light in hard to reach places.

One set of 3 C batters will last over 1500 hours. Nice!

Each lamp will set you back around $75 and are available here.

Titanic Lamp by Charles Trevelyan

Titanic Lamp

The Titanic Lamp by FLUKE is really more a work of art than an extremely functional lamp.

A “slice” was made an a vertical angle down the lamp so that it has the appearance of sinking into its surface.

So why might I consider this more “form” than “function”? Well, I guess that depends on if you’d like to drop $630 on a lamp.
