LED Loom Lamp by Josh Rubin
The first in a line of "organic technology" products, this LED Loom Lamp from Brooklyn based Lwindesign studio weaves reddish branches of Ash coppice around a ring of white LEDs. Casting shadows on surrounding walls and adding a touch of nature to interiors, the lamp uses a traditional weave. The organic materials (part of Lwin's aim to integrate local forestry into his work) are an understated contrast to hi-tech lighting elements. Like his lamps made from repurposed laundry detergent bottles and his Biotube bench, with the energy-saving features of LEDs and sustainably harvested wood, it's an eco-conscious solution as well. Contact sales [a] lwindesign [dot] com for more info. Price is available on request.

Called Cappellini Love, the collection is comprised of a series of vases and bowls made from glass fragments, and a small...

Rise and Fall Floral Love Pillow
Just in time for Valentine's Day, Cool Hunting favorites Rise and Fall created a romantic heart-shaped pillow that wouldn't be complete without their hint of macabre. The Brooklyn-based design collective designed this black and white floral print with skulls cleverly hidden into the pattern (click on image for detailed view). Made by hand, the pillow fits in nicely with Rise and Fall's other efforts...
