iO Lamp

“Made from 100% hot glue, the lampshade has the luminescence and reflective quality of glass, but the flexibility of rubber. Each piece is handmade in a process similar to working with hot glass: large batches of clear glue are melted down, then colors are blended in, forming long ribbons as the glue is poured. The shade, which sits atop a chromed steel frame, may vary slightly from the picture as each is handmade and unique. Two 40-watt bulbs are included.”

Sway Stool

I swoon. Made of 100% pure cork, which is reclaimed waste material from the bottle stopper industry, this little stool is something to take a look at.

“The central column of the stool, located directly under the spine of the user, is flexible, solid cork while the rest is perforated. The result is a seat that flexes and pivots under the weight of the user, responding to the slightest body movement. The user’s muscles remain slightly engaged to maintain balance, improving posture and circulation. Many have reported this to be a perfect seat for working at a desk or computer, enabling the user to move and rock while working and thinking. Because cork is 100% waterproof and impervious to rot and mold growth, this piece functions as well outdoors as it does in. Perfect for a bit of meditation in the garden…”

Designed by Daniel Michalik.

Magnavox 42″ Widescreen Plasma HDTV

I’m glad the price of plasma screen tv’s is finally dropping. I actually saw a no-name-brand 42″ flatscreen on a Walmart flyer for $999. This means that probably in about six to tweleve months the no-namers will drop to about $800 and the big namers will probably be around $1500.
