Owindo Lighting by Evan Orensten
Self-taught Designer Max Lam started Owindo as an offshoot of his Hong Kong-based Moderne Interior Design firm a few years back.
His 1960s and '70s-inspired lights now come in pendant, floor, wall, and table styles. He's recently introduced a new white finish in addition to the chrome-plated styles. A few of our favorites include (from top left, clockwise) the Prism Sixty, C.C.C.5.5P, Tube Complex and Diamond Complex.

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...

Green Home LED Christmas Lights
We like a good Christmas light job as much as the next person, but there are always concerns about energy consumption and the like. Green Home, a pioneering outfit that's run out of a basement in San Francisco's working-class Richmond District, offers a good array of LED Christmas lights that saves energy (and money). Bulbs are available in both traditional (starting at $12.50) and...

Richard Woods Home Makeover
London-based designer Richard Woods extends his "Super Tudor" style to a home in Woodstock, NY, giving the nearly 30-year-old structure a completely new look. Known for the idiosyncratic faux wood prints he designed with Sebastian Wrong fittingly called "Wrongwoods," the upstate New York home is not surprisingly "a parody of what a weekend house should be" according to contemporary art collector and home owner...
