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.

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.

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.

The IceCube, by Belgian company Extremis, is a jazzy way to not only keep drinks cool at your monthly hoedown, but also add some stellar mood lighting to the party.
There are 4 different lighting colors available and an options cushion accessory that lets you turn your cooler into a glowing-seat-of-fun.
I’ve seen some rather unusual USB devices in my day…but this might be the weirdest.
The USB Fragrance Oil drive from USB Geek lets you plugin a small “drive” into a USB port and put in a few drops of fragrance for which it will graciously emit throughout the day.
They have four magnificently un-geeky scents available: Rose, Peppermint, Jasmine, and Lavender.
What is the world coming to?
This spring3d chandelier is rather simplistic and modern with its exposed bulbs and simple construction.
