Room and Board have just released a new range of George Nelson Bubble pendants. What’s new about them? Color. Lovely pale luminous gold and a slaty blue.

object: new lamp
I spent a leisurely morning trawling through Target in Culver City today. I found great thick sailcloth curtains to keep the sun off my parents (poor things will be very jetlagged when they arrive next week) and I also got a new lamp (above) for the living room, which is rather dark. The base is timber (I got it for $19 on sale) and made from some kind of pale wood. The shade is linen and was $25. They also had a very cool black shade lined in gold but it was the wrong shape – I wanted barrel not cone. I also found a cool new light bulb from GE (below). It looks like a classic bulb shape but has the CFL coil hidden inside. For more on the bulb go here.

24 year old designer Daniel Rybakken is obsessed with light. Maybe it’s a Norwegian thing, long winters and all. But the results are stunning. Check out ‘dayight comes sideways’ (above) and his polished aluminium ‘mirror‘ below. His work is stunning.

furniture: dining
Design Public has a new dining table from LA-based designers Mash Studios. Looks good (above). They’ve also got a very nice timber pendant, new from Lights Up! (below).

Judith van den Boom’s great Repose light caught my eye. I like the chaotic red cord and the crisp white ceramic pieces. Check out her website for more cool work (a sample of it pictured below). Via design*sponge.

travel: ny ny ny ny
Off to New York today for ICFF. Got a million little things to do this morning so this post will be super brief. I wanted to cover this lovely idea from Tokyo-based design firm Living World – it’s called Wind-Lit and they are solar powered lights that respond to wind.
