TwistTogether Lamp by Ami Kealoha
Made from hand-cast resin and lit from within by LEDs, these modular televsion-like lamps, from Brooklyn-based design studio Glide, cast an appealing mood light. Configurable in any number of arrangements, TwistTogethers are interactive objects to boot. Stacked between shelves (like glowing cinder blocks) they integrate lighting into furniture, making for an updated version of the college bookshelf or they can form right angles to wrap around corners and tabletop edges. They're available in candy colors for a more pop feel or a "chocolate" palate that lends a 50s-era look. A set of four runs $399 or six are $585. Pick them up through Cool Hunting's 2005 Holiday Gift Guide and be sure to check out the other entries we've recently added as well.

They hadn't been added to the website last time we checked, but you can email Establishment directly: info...

Halloween 2006: Thomas Keeley
Thomas Keeley, a 25 year-old Rhode Island School of Design grad based in New York City, creates three dimensional pieces with creepy Halloween-esque themes. Equipped with wings and fangs, the "Bat Chair" is a slightly sinister yet entirely functional take on a classic café-style chair. A hair brush with dozens of bloody fingertips in place of bristles serves as a very literal interpretation of...

New Rich
New Rich, a collaboration between Swiss clothing designer +41 and the Swiss- and Belgium-based design team Big Game, debuted this month at Cologne's International Furniture Fair. Un-democratizing objects like ballpoint pens, thumbtacks, and iPod headphones, the collection exalts the mundane, transforming near-disposable commodities into coveted pieces and highlighting the intrinsic value of already-ingenious design elements. A continuation of questions posed by Big Game's first line,...
