Poetic, lightweight and immaculately white, Icarus reminds us of the human aspiration to flight: a link between us and the celestial light. Tord Boontje – another über talended designer from the Netherlands says about his design: "Through experimentation with cutting paper to create a three dimensional form for a light, we discovered a structure with overlapping feather shapes that resembled a swan's wing. We made the form a-symmetrical to emphasise this and to make it very dynamic. As the light appears as a wing circling a light, the name Icarus seemed an appropriate reference." We completely agree, but add some important details: It comes packed flat, you shouldn't use more than a 60 watt bulb which is not included, the material used is Mylar and it is approximately 16.5" x 31.25" x 16.5" (42 x 79 x 42 cm) in size.

trick out your toilet with our octopus vinyl decal. Approx 8.25"w x 8.5"h Vinyl: glossy dark blue Questions we get asked frequently: Will this sticker ever come off my toilet? Absolutely! We just use a razor blade to scrape it off and some Goo-Gone (or some other adhesive remover) to get the porcelain totally clean. We've been scraping and reapplying the new designs on the same toilet, with no problems whatsoever. (if you’re applying them to painted walls, we’re not guaranteeing anything) How do I apply the stickers? Just peel off the backing paper, carefully position the sticker on your (clean) toilet, and use your library card (or a credit card or something) to press the sticker firmly down. Then peel off the adhesive paper on the front and marvel at how much better your toilet looks! Can I put this sticker on something else? Heck yeah! Your refrigerator, the back window of your car, the front of your washer and dryer, your bedroom wall - they're all a go. The stickers will stick to... See less

Paper! NOM NOM NOM! Paper normally sticks together through the use of external device - usually glue or some kind of bent metal wire. Then some kind of freakin' GENIUS realized you can stick paper together WITH PAPER! These staple-free-staplers cut a small flap and a notch in the paper, then it folds the flap back into the notch which keeps the paper stuck together! Pretty slick for a little plastic puppy! Not only is it environmental, it's safe - especially for little kid fingers. We've got these super cute staple-free staplers in adorable doggie and kitty styles in sickeningly-sweet pastel colors. Perfect for the geekling in your life, or the grown-up geek who've incorporated the word "SQUEE!" into their lexicon! So, kids, next time you've got a report due for school, you can hand your assignment in on time while also saying, "The dog ate my homework." NOTE - Not suitable for children under 5. See less

The word of the day is: Anthropomorphize! We do it every day, though mostly without thinking about it - we get angry at the stapler that mangled our presentation, or the phone when it can't get a signal. We say we "love this coffee mug," and sometimes we even imagine a face on the clock on the wall. It's called anthropomorphizing, and it's where we imbue human characteristics to inanimate objects. But are they really inanimate? Certain mythologies suggest that the more we use and include these objects in our daily lives, the more connected they become with our lives, thoughts and feelings. They are pleased when we use them, and are sad when they're discarded. Think back to that stuffed monkey doll you had when you were a kid. You threw him away one day, and there he sits - vacuously staring at rotting garbage in a landfill for all eternity. Not very nice at all! So some of these objects can be construed as to have a personality. Why not make it official? Stick a couple of googly eyes,... See less
