Sure you’ve got your personal rocketship, sure you’re moving to man’s first lunar base. Does that mean you can’t take your designer mid-century modern couch? Does it??

Science Fiction Movie Poster: Forbidden Planet

Posted by Danielle in Advertising & Media, Entertainment on January 23, 2007

AMAZING! A true classic, represented here by a substance-induced spacescape, a scantily-clad maiden and Robby the Robot. Another one I’d love to have on my wall, someday.

Blimp Pendant Lamp

Posted by Danielle in Children's Items, Home & Office on July 3, 2006

IKEA | Children's lighting | BLIMP pendant lamp

Let me start off by admitting that I both own and adore this lamp. Part ringed-planet, part UFO, part dance-floor lighting, the BLIMP lamp is far too cute to refuse. Mine hangs in my office, and while it doesn’t project much “useful” light, it is heartwarming to behold.

If you’re in the mood to have celestial shapes projected in all directions, like the idea of a all-but-huggable Unidentified Hanging Pendant in your home, or have a sleepy youngster to entrance with the colorful beams and glowing planetary ring, I highly recommend BLIMP.

[Edit, August 4, 2007] It appears this lamp was discontinued by IKEA; it’s nowhere on the site. Maybe try eBay?

Brass Moon Vase

Posted by Danielle in Home & Office on July 3, 2006

Found on The Artful Home, and designed by artist David M. Bowman:

Small Moon Vase

(See also: Large Moon Vase and Extra Small Moon Vase.)

From the artist’s profile page:

“My sense of form and composition comes from close and long study of natural forms, architecture from all periods, the compositions of the masters of painting, and the work of other contemporary and ancient craftspeople.”
