Ka Lamp from Danielgarciasanchez on Vimeo.
Ka Lamp is a reading lamp made of wood. Warmth and tradition transmitted by the use of wood but at the same time innovation and thoughtfully designed.
The use of elastic cord as assemble system gives the product innovation and distinction.
The focus turns on its axis as it supports the arm, giving the product a total freedom to distribute light.
Ka Lamp is modular, removable and easily transportable and takes up very little space.
Description above from the video. It’s an older project, we’ve seen it a few times, but this video is fun so let’s look at it again!
And it’s for sale!
We don’t normally like things made from other things, (make sense?) but retired fire hoses turned into shower kit bags seems very appropriate. They have other products as well, but this is our favorite. 50% of profits go to The Fire Fighters Charity.

A lovely bench by a Portland company called Square Form. It’s been written up all over the place lately, for good reason. It’s a super simple design that’s just so well balanced, mixing reclaimed walnut and alder, and steel tubing. There are a bunch of photos at http://www.behance.net/scottycummings/frame/728989 or take a look at their website.
Nice legs, wonder if they wobble. It’s a nice dichotomy, the bright legs with the dark, reclaimed wood. The way the legs fasten to the table is pretty cool too. No idea how much, but not knowing might be better than the prices we’ve been running into lately!

Come January 1st, we see a lot of christmas trees lining the road, heading to their fate at a sawdust mill, compost heap, or worst of all, in a landfill. A company called “et al.” has taken a few of those trees and turned them into lamps, where the bulb is nestled in among the cracks in the trees, and looks similar to a warm fire. The photo here is one of my favorites, but there are many more on their site, and of course every one of these is unique.
