Looking for a cool, unconventional gift for a friend of loved one? Strapped for cash? All of the following goodies can be purchased at Generate.
This light bulb requires no electrical power; it's solar-charged so it recharges its energy during the day and functions as a post-modern, Jeff Koons-inspired nightlight at night. I wonder if it's waterproof...
I love shapes of shadows created from flickering flames. This lamp holder plays on that by projecting an image of a tree on the wall. As the flame flickers, the tree moves too. Put several of them in your room and you can have a makeshift forest complete with a campfire! Sexy.
Say goodbye to coffee rings--say hello to coffee floral patterns. Having mugs that leave marks like this makes me wanna drink more coffee in the mornings.
Tord Boontje is everywhere it seems, and his Garland Light is one of the many reasons why he is so popular right now. Using laser cutting technology, Boontje has created brass garlands that conform to the desired shapes of the owner. A nice blend of the whimsy and traditional.
