Light up the night with your pillow

Email thisPosted Mar 13th 2008 at 8:27PM by Mallory Whitfield

Still waiting on spring to arrive where you are? Got those dreary winter day blues? Maybe the d°light Huggable is the answer you've been looking for. This light-up pillow is inspired by sunlight and designer Diana Lin created it to give people the chance to embrace the essence of the sun in their arms.

The pillow is soft and fuzzy like a pillow should be and it's made out of a unique silicone material that feels almost life-like. It's like your cute new glowing pet!

The d°light Huggable is available in three colors (white, hot pink and gold) and for $160 each, this pillow is a bit of a splurge. But it could make a great gift for lonely urban dwellers with the winter blahs, or maybe a last-ditch effort to sooth the kid who just can't get over their fear of the dark? Either way, it's pretty freakin' cool!

Lovely lighting that tricks the eye

What do this floating lamp, this levitating light bulb, and this sinking lamp have in common? They're all awesome, that's what. Oh, and they're also stunning illusions that light your home.

The floating lamp is actually supported by a steel base that only looks like a loose cable. Awesome. The levitating light bulb is actually wirelessly powered, so it's fully functional. No need to use a lampshade to hide it. Double awesome. As for the sinking lamp, it's just an illusion, but, still, it's awesome.

Have I mentioned how awesome all of these are?

The lights are created by different designers, but I'd love to be able to buy all of them and scatter them throughout my home. It'd be a bit like living in a fun house, yeah? Awesome.

Fireflies as home decor

I grew up in a town along one of the Great Lakes, which meant on a summer evening the air was literally full of fireflies. Now that I live in the middle of Texas, the lack of luminous insects causes me considerable disappointment.

But, for people like me, who equate "lightning bugs" with fond childhood memories, there's now the Firefly Lamp -- a great way to get a little down-home comfort, no matter where you live.

From the designer: The firefly lamp is a marriage of simplicity and function. A thick square base made from recycled acrylic holds a nickel plated rod and fixture with a 5" bulb that encloses five miniature "fireflies."

Sounds cool, but unfortunately that comfort won't come cheap -- the lamps are $99 each from the company's website (they'd be $250 if you tried to purchase them at a retail outlet), and come with only one bulb each. Plus, it doesn't look very practical, as I can't imagine the bulb actually gives off much light. (That said, neither do real fireflies, so maybe that's the point.)

And -- lamps aside -- if you never had a chance to run around catching fireflies when you were a kid, I highly encourage you to give it a try. Nothing lights up a dark room like a plastic bottle filled with glowing bugs.
