Fifti Fifti's Take-Off Light is fitting for two kinds of people: the DIY-inclined and those with a habit of poking holes through paper. You know who I'm talking about—the people who can't keep their hands from haphazardly crumpling and drowsily stabbing scratch paper with pens during meetings (guilty as charged). This steel-and-paper lamp makes our lethargic tendency look good—all it takes is a steady hand and some design sense.

The perforated paper designs are held in place on the steel frame with magnets and come in two options—circles and triangles. Each kit comes equipped with a steel frame, magnets, paper templates and instructions containing design patterns and inspiration. Try your paper-poking skills by claiming your own Take-Off Light on Fifti Fifti's website.

    Can't wait to see what it looks like after a good-sized fly or moth is bonking around in there. Really though, I think this is a neat idea.

    Things That Look Like Other Things: Antenna Light

    While the days of scratchy television channels and sending the man of the house up to tinker around with the reception antenna are nearly obsolete—thanks to the likes of Netflix and Hulu—there are still ways to enjoy the inconveniences of the past. The Antenna Light by Joy Charbonneau is one...

    It's a Chandelier... It's an Installation... No, It's a Map!

    The Global Data Chandelier—a big name for an equally sizable installation (physically and in theory)—is more of an infographic of sorts than anything else. Created for the Center for Strategic and International Studies' new headquarters in Washington D.C. by Sosolimited, Hypersonic Engineering & Design, Plebian Design and Chris Parlato, the...

Since its debut in 2010, the helical CFL has become an award-winning, museum-worthy icon, even as the Edison...

    Living Lamps: More Like Desktop Pets Than a Light Source (and Who Doesn't Want One of Those?)

    Junior isn't just a task light. Like Bob de Graaf's "Species of Illumination," Junior is a whimsical living lamp that depends on your breath to keep his energy up. By breathing toward the lamp, Junior lights up—literally and figuratively—into the perfect playful midday distraction. This all being said, it's probably...
