It’s not just one lightbulb, it’s three. It’s not just made out of metal, it’s got chords, too. This is a ceiling fixture if ever have I seen one. It’s made for functionality, but often with stripped-down efficiency comes aesthetically pleasing beauty. That’s how it is these days. And I love it.
This lamp is made of re-purposed O.C. White industrial joints, vintage Hubbell sockets for the lights, and a bunch of new-cut steel. The axes on which the poles are situated allow for 360 degrees of rotation. The sockets that hold the bulbs each activate with a turn-key, each one being individually controlled.
And it looks just so very elegant and nude.

So you’re a cat person, but you don’t want to appear to be a “Crazy Cat Lady” (or man!) But your kitty cat, she just needs a nice place to sleep! What do you do? You probably go about buying something big, maybe a color you didn’t quite like, and hard to manage blending in with the rest of your decor. Well that’s just silly! You don’t go to the pet store to buy a pet bed, you go to the design store!
You know that if you’re a design-conscious sort of person (and if you’ve reading this post, you are,) that your cat is one too! You’re cat isn’t a person (as far as I know,) but there’s certain things your cat will work with as well as things it simply wont.
I’ve got a cat in my apartment. She belongs to my fiance, but she is her own kitty. This cat only really interacts with things that she loves. She likes cat toys, but she LOVES human things. She likes things that are bolted down, things that are a part of the apartment: the windows, the rugs (we’ve got hardwood floors,) the couch. She’s never enjoyed the “pet beds” that she’s been gifted. She loves things that belong to us. The humans.
The Curve Pet Bed by fresh designer Akemi Tanaka IS that. It’s lookin so nice, and installs so seamlessly, heck, this kitty would sit on it all day long. Right up there on her pretty pretty perch.
BONUS: Curve is also intent on holding small doggies too!

We told you the deals, now tell us how it all went down. Find any sweet deals? Have any horror stories? Reevaluating your plan to flip copies of Paul Blart: Mall Cop on eBay? Let’s hear it.
I wasn’t really in the market for anything, and had no desire to go wait outside in the rain at the crack of dawn. But I did grab the DS version of Chrono Trigger for $10 ($9 after Bing cashback) on Wednesday at Newegg. Not on Black Firday, sure, but it was enough to satisfy my consumerist desires for the week. How about you? [Image via Tri-City Herald]
How did Black Friday go?(survey)
When I first heard the phrase “Lego sorter,” I expected some crazy production line robot with moving arms and a glowing red eye. Thankfully, the Box4Blox sorter works as simply as the Lego bricks it stores.
This thing got announced way back in March, and I’m amazed we missed it up until now. The device has four trays with square holes along the bottom. These openings get progressively smaller to sort out the bricks by size. And that’s really all there is to it. Genius.
Sounds good, and according to the Brothers Brick, it works well too. They found it does a great job sorting a kid’s collection, and even works well as pre-sorter for more complex adult collections.
Seems like cool beans, but we’ll have to let Jesus take a crack at it. Then, and only then, will we have the ultimate judgement. [Brothers Brick, Youtube via @chr1sa]
