The Light at the End of the Funnel Lamp

Using everyday materials with a bit of LED technology and thinking ahead… Louis Saul ofDodolivin announces the oddly named “The Light at the End of the Funnel” entry as part of the “Enlightenment of the Month” series…

THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE FUNNEL is one of the first single spotlights with High Power LED technology: That means only a fraction of the normal energy consumption, a long life span and nearly no heat development.

The Light at the End of the Funnel – dodolivin shows a plastic funnel in its correct light. This newest lamp idea he presents for the first time at Gdynia Design Days from 11th till 27th July 2008.

I seriously like it. I <3 Lamp.

Phillipe Starck designs inexpensive consumer level windmill

Gadgets, Green No Comments »

Phillipe Starck Domestic Windmill

Phillipe “Design is Dead” Starck decided to put his design talent into a stylish windmill that reportedly can offer up to 20-60% of a typical household’s power usage for under $650.00 USD. Teamed up Pramac, a company that specializes in power generation equipment, this might be more real than fantasy.

I at least hope so. For $650.00 or so, I’d gladly buy a windmill to lessen my dependency on the ever stressed electrical grid with my personal ultimate goal to be as far off the grid as possible; even perhaps giving back to the grid, contributing for those that live by the consumers mantra of “Live. Buy. Consume.”

C’mon Starck… make this one happen.
