Turn Off the Light, by Jenny Bergström

First to recommend

Description

Appearing at Milan Design Week 2008, Turn Off the Light is a heat-sensitive lamp application that melts from exposure to the heat of the lamp. Simple enough, the design bluntly illustrates the impact of energy expenditure.

the beautiful game

Description

This is a far cry from the beer-splattered foosball table on which we waged epic battles in my college days. This delicious design takes a game and turns it into an art form. Absolutely stunning.

Dot Table Lamp

First to recommend

Description

The Dot Table Lamp from wis design presents a smart, understated desk lamp with a fashionable touch. An exaggerated pearl necklace, made with tactile rubber, falls and clumps onto the base. The piece is just a concept, developed for Lampister, so keep your fingers crossed.

Paul Smith Ping-Pong Table, by Hunn Wai

First to recommend

Description

Before you get too excited, this is neither a ping-pong table commissioned by Paul Smith (yet) nor a piece produced in an edition greater than one. But it is a really cool DIY project from a designer with great references. He essentially took a common wing-tip design appearing on Paul Smith shoes and applied it to a secondhand ping-pong table. Remarkable repurposing! (via playmedesign)

Wall-Mounted Umbrella Holder by Carlo Contin

First to recommend

Description

Aside from the unavoidable mess you'd make every time you place your umbrella in this stand, this understated piece economically offers everything you need in a local that makes an umbrella a constant accessory. It's just a concept, but one can hope.
