You know that we adore the Gorgeous Helen lampshades because they turn every wineglass into an instant lampshade, and now the ladies at Dekoop have just launched their most recent goodie: The Citylight is a vellum lampshade that slides over a laser cut metal city scape, inside sits a votive candle and voila, you have a perfect reflecting city, creating a wonderful mood on any table inside or out. The set comes complete with the base, 2 vellum shades and the city scape in a cute little box. And the best part of it, you can choose from a series of cities: Hamburg, Berlin and Munich - the designers are German after all – but there's also a small international selection which currently consists of London, Paris, New York and Zurich – hopefully more will be added soon...

THIS ITEM IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION. Available in limited quantities, so act quickly while supplies last! Born in Padua, Italy, in 1961, this comic-strip artist and illustrator is a leading light in the renewal of Italian comic, dividing his time as a graphic artist, designer, musician and artist. More recently, Massimo Giacon has come to light as a promising consumer product designer, implementing his interesting, youthful and pop culture iconic artistry to his commissioned mass produced products for notable manufacturers. Each piece incorporates his revitalized Italian comic inspirations for a more fun, imaginative and artistic twist to everyday consumer products. These traits are very noticable in Giacon's design of the Mr. Suicide Bathtub Plug. Anything but ordinary is all that needs to be said of this truly unique bathtub plug that features a little floating man chained to a universal bathtub stopper. This piece is made from durable PP plastic available in three color options. See less

P.S.1, MoMA's contemporary art center, held a music series in the summer of 2007. Los Angeles-based architects Ball-Nogues was commissioned to create an outdoor environment called Liquid Sky to house the concert series on the roof of the building. Our friend Israel Kandarian curated a related poster series, and invited us to make a tabloid-sized poster to be stapled on Ball-Nogues telephone pole installation. There was no brief for the poster; it could be about anything. We decided to make something that would represent that sweet time when a couple might be inclined to carve their names into a tree, a desk, or maybe a telephone pole... Open edition of 25" x 38" posters silkscreened in thistle (silvery purple) on archival quality acid-free stock. Also available in cocoa. Posters are sent via Priority Mail, both domestically and internationally. No refunds, returns, or exchanges. Allow 2 weeks for delivery, (8 weeks for international orders.) Posters damaged in transit will be replaced.... See less
