Mobiles are an excellent way to take advantage of all that empty space above our heads. Plus, watching a mobile move slowly around is supposed to help you relax, and who doesn't need that?

Herman Miller has a new space aged heating and cooling solution which uses a patented, energy-efficient thermal technology to deliver both heating and cooling from a single, compact unit which consumes 90% less energy than a typical space heater.

"The C2 not only improves your comfort level, it filters the air around you by intercepting particles of dust, pollen and dander as small as five microns.

And, because the C2 is not a space heater, it doesn’t contain any exposed heating coils, chemicals or harmful emissions. No filling with water or recharging is necessary, and the filter is removable for cleaning. The unit will shut itself off after four hours, as an added energy saver. UL listed and plugs into a standard 110v AC. The C2 Climate Control is a fully licensed product of Herman Miller®, Inc."

Storage inspired by a Japanese anemone box, the PJ Pocket Pillow's lid twists off for hidden storage.

The Mathmos LED lights are so cool and would be perfect for washing a room in color. This one is 8" across and can be used on a table top or wall mounted. It cycles through the color spectrum and if you find one you like, you can press the light to make it stay there. It would also be great for a kids room.

This original mobile is laser cut from Walnut Veneer. Designed by Helene Ige.

In light of things funny/fantastical...(and, think outside the box, why not add some whimsy to areas other than those delegated to kids?) "These colorful wall graphics are part of the Vynil line by a French publishing house called Domestic. Domestic works with well-known designers to produce products that allow the consumer to contribute to the design. In this case, giant fantastical figures cut out of removable adhesive vinyl can be grouped or scattered around a room, based on your whim. The stickers come on 20 x 20" sheets."
