Despite what other rumors might exist, Realm Dekor is responsible for bringing this gorgeous Honeycomb Lamp to the USA. It’s handcrafted from Denguri paper found locally in the Shikoku region of Japan. It comes flat for storage and easy packaging to protect the paper-thin delicate lamp shade. All you have to do is slip a 10W bulb and a cord inside it and it emits a soft glow.

I wanted to give my friend, the guy behind Android 8, Glen Liberman, a special mention. His long awaited music website is finally live. Glen has been banging on a drum-kit since 5th grade–but luckily has upgraded some equipment around his studio since then. He’s carving himself a niche doing music and sounds for commercial clients, and recently landed his song ‘Builder’, a song that was on the Android 8 splash page, in a national Toyota campaign. Congratulations Glen, get back to twisting knobs and pressing buttons, your fans want more music!

This is an oldie, but a goodie. This piece is much larger than it looks, it’s actually a seating-planter made out of “rotation-moulded polyethylene.” It was designed by London-based design group El Ultimo Grito for the Swedish manufacturer Nola. It reminds me of Karim Rashid’s blob-like furniture forms. Robert Feo and Rosario Hurtado picked up awards at 100% Design in London in ‘98, ‘99 and again in 2000. No word on what they’re up to now though, hopefully this post grabs their attention so we can all get an update. ViaDesign Bot
