Fun Night Lights by Jacob Resneck
Okay, it's a generic title but there's something to be said for these bizarre night lights that are liable to scare a small child worse than whatever's lurking in the closet.
The purplish plasma bulb takes on a Frankenstein-esque quality while the fiber-optic blue looks like the head from a sci-fi Muppet character or Mystery Science Theater 3000.
For only $12 for the pair, these little knick-knacks would make a great White Elephant gift. Available online from Fred Flare.

Lichtinfusion Lamp
Even if you don't have a strange affinity for hospitals, you might like the Lichtinfusion Lamp by Christain Maas. With lights that hang like old-school glass bottles of saline, I love that the IV rubber tubing doubles as the power cord. If I was designing it, I'd add more realistism by adding wheels like real IV systems allowing patients to go for walks. A...

P.A.M. x Undercover Shade Lamp
Using macabre imagery to form an eerily symbolic sculptural piece, Jun Takahashi of Undercover joined forces with P.A.M. to create the Shade Lamp. The scene depicts a tree growing out of (or through?) a skull in a cemetery somewhere with the branches (fittingly) holding the shade. For mood lighting, I like the green and gold eyes, but my favorite part of the lamp has...

The Plumen Project: Hulger
When it comes to the lightbulb we've been left with an egg shaped bulb since it's invention. More recently we are seeing the ice cream whip shape of compact fluorescents, but for the iconic symbol of an idea it lacks any innovation. Hulger is determined to change this. Taking advantage of the tubular characterisitc of the compact fluorescent, Hulger recently initiated the Plumen Project,...

LED Art Fan
Much like the 3-D display in our latest video, this LED art fan displays moving images on a rotating blade in 2-D. We've seen similar versions before, but this makes strides with color and programmability. With 42 LEDs mounted on the blades the LED art fan spins and flickers to create beautiful images. Holding up to 128 individual pictures in its built-in memory, the...

Artist Beach Towels
A huge hit at the Deitch/Paper store that took place last week in Miami during Art Basel, these artist-designed beach towels ($50) are for those who want to wrap themselves in art. Featuring works by Alex Katz, Marilyn Minter, Richard Phillips and Rob Pruitt (pictured above from L-R), the towels are gigantic (measuring 60"x70"), soft and the colors look great in terry cloth. Though...

Three Menorahs
Even goyim can appreciate the charm of lighting menorahs during dark winter months. These three—whether tongue-in-cheek, made from inventive materials or an unobtrusive modular set— lend just the right amount of irreverence for surviving the season. Acrylic Menorah This acrylic menorah (pictured above left) by Italian design team Sawaya & Moroni combines a classic shape with modern materials. Reminiscent of the Mahua Huni acrylic...
