The Monte Carlo Airlift: This ceiling fan folds up and goes to sleep as an ordinary (albeit funky) light fixture when it's not on.

Nice things at environment 337: We bought one of these as well. They're elegant and great for watching time fly by at the office.

Kodak One Gallery - New York: To accompany the launch of its easy share camera, Kodak has opened galleries in NY and SF. Ours is at 102 Wooster Street.

Huge + Max lamp from the UK: A lovely alternative to the Arco floor lamp and the other one that looks e-x-a-c-t-l-y like a cheap task lamp.

Home Decorating with LED - the ultimate trend guide: Trendir goes all out in an effort to roundup this fast growing little niche.

TreeHugger "Old Faithful" Winner - Anthony Pagani: Over at Treehugger this office chair made from an old Audi's driver seat won the day.

Writer's Almanac:

It's the birthday of Bram Stoker, born in Dublin, Ireland (1847).

The Audi chair is brilliant! We bought our Audi specifically for the amazing lumbar-support seats. We really hate renting cars on vacation now, because the soggy seats in most rentals (Ford Taurus, etc) are really disappointing.

I posted this comment yesterday on the LA site, which also slink'd up to the Trendir site:

"I can't get on board with the whole "LED lighting incorporated into home furnishings" thing. Every application I've seen so far feels forced (more like a novelty than an actual innovation) and verges on tacky. And don't get me started on the "chromatherapy" sell for the technology incorporated into bathtubs and sinks. That's just a marketing hook, and not actual design. Should your home bathroom really have similar lighting effects to that of a rave?"

...And after sleeping on it, I haven't changed my mind! ;)

Does anyone know what is on the wall behind the "Huge + Max lamp from the UK"? I love it. Is that decals or is it painted...
