Despite the more obviously brain compatible shape of the partner item, the brain bowl, there is something deliciously fugly about these cups. added on 2008-07-25

A clever twist of art and design, Brooklyn industrial designer Sergio Silva transforms a modern object into the very thing it was created to replace.

Industrial designer Sergio Silva works in a variety of mediums to showcase his creative work. From aluminum chess sets to wood cinder blocks, Sergio blends industrial themes, modern aesthetics, and classic materials to make his creations must-haves for any home.

With his Oyule lamps, Sergio has transformed an idea into a limited run production. Working with reclaimed light bulbs, Sergio has tried to “send the bulbs back in time”, introducing a modern-day icon as a traditional light source. As the incandescent light bulb gives way to new technology, Sergio has repurposed it as an elegant oil lamp -- the Oyule lamps use non-flammable paraffin oil and a wick replaces the filament. Machined parts are used to ensure strength and safety, without betraying the original look of the light bulb. But the true elegance of this piece comes from the way these light bulbs interact with the base. By placing a strong spherical magnet inside the bulb (which responds to a steel component embedded in the acrylic base), Sergio has liberated the lamps from any visual obstruction, allowing the viewer to appreciate the form in all its beauty. This two-bulb set, on display at Sergio’s studio since 2006, has attracted the interest of several media outlets, including the popular blogs Core77, Ecogeek, and DesignSponge. added on 2008-06-12

Take down all those photos, paintings and posters off your walls and replace them with these cool new Living Wall Planters ($169). These unique wall-mounted planters grow flowers, succulents, ferns and ivies indoors right on your living room wall. The plants grow in a planting grid, while a white cedar wood frame houses a watering tray on top that trickles water down to each pocket in the grid. All excess water is collected in a tray on the bottom. I'm from Chicago and a living wall of ivy in my living room would be so cool. added on 2008-01-27
