Zhili Goose
Okay I know that headline’s a stretch. Geese don’t sit on wires or in cages, and as we “journalists” know, you can only work the phrase one way or you lose your punch. Anyway, it doesn’t matter because LOOK AT THIS GODDAMN LAMP. It is part of a series of “Bird Lamps” by Shanghai designer Zhili Liu, wherein plain-jane bulb sockets are cast in bone china and mounted at an ever-so-slight angle – creating the effect of birds on wire and in cages.
These lamps are too rad and I feel unable to express with clunky english just how much they turn my crank. As a gesture of appreciation to Liu I am going to show all of these images at once without a ‘more…’ link. Look at them, internet! Bask in their warm glow!

Dear Mr. Fantasy
Digital print, flourescent light, rock
These pieces by American artist Marlo Pascual are artwork and we should take them very seriously but HOW GOOD DO THEY WORK AS DESIGN OBJECTS. How good! Let’s be real, everyone would buy ten thousand of these.

Harry Allen is on fire!
Harry Allen, the creator of everyone’s favorite dead piglet piggy bank (natural causes, natch) is wowing us again with this badass LED light molded 3D-printed off of a firefly he caught in his backyard. When writing articles makes me rich I will buy a swarm of these for a de facto insect chandelier. Until then, I guess I’ll just settle for this thing as my lonely only firefly-themed design object. Le sigh.
