Fanimation Air Shadow Mechanical Ceiling Fan

Amazing Retracting Modern Ceiling Fan It may seem silly, but I like a ceiling fan that does something, and I don’t just mean move the air around. Well the Air Shadow Mechanical Ceiling Fan by Fanimation exceeded even my expectations. Having grown up in the family lighting store, I am pretty jaded.

The shape alone is inspiring, achieved with a series of three shades each in a different yet complimentary form factor that is representative of the early 1950′s atomic age style. It is topped by an up-swept

Soft Glass Table Lamp by George Kovacs

One of the coolest and most unusual contemporary table lamps around today is the Soft Glass Table Lamp designed by Karim Rashid for George Kovacs. None of the lamps in the Soft Collection fail to get noticed but I love the table lamp most of all because of the up close and personal nature of this sculptural art glass masterpiece…
