The Retro Cube Stereo Speaker and Mood Light, in theory, brings the latest in LED and rhyhmic technology to an old familiar shape. In reality, however, it’s more like an unholy marriage between a Rubik’s Cube and the Saturday Night Fever dance floor.

This is a speaker that flashes its LEDs in time with your music, and looks like a fake Rubik’s Cube on a stand…

Affirmative. Yes, affirmative. I must have a pair of these metallic robot lamps flanking the sides of my bed.

With a retro style reminiscent of a 1950s robot movie (or Jemaine and Bret dressed in tin foil wrapped cardboard boxes depending on your point of view), these nifty bedside lamps are actually made out of ceramic with a metallic silver coating…

The Lite-Brite is one of my fondest childhood toy memories. Maybe it was the fact that it was THE original way to make pixel art. Or maybe it was the “living on the edge” thrill that any minute I could choke on one of the of hundreds of tiny candy-like pegs. Delicious…

What makes the Block Light really cool is the fact that you can rearrange the pieces into pretty much any configuration you’d like…

This light brings your remote control commands to the forefront of your decor. All of your favorites are represented here in light, including stop, play, and perennial favorites pause and rewind.

There’s not a whole lot of information to be found about this cool design, but I can tell you this: the light is made by madreinspain…

This funky modern lighting fixture might be named for its umbrella-like shape, but to me it looks like some sort of alien jellyfish is about land its spacecraft in your living room.

Created by French furniture designers Beau & Bien, the Smoon Ombrella lamp gets its sculptural potato chip-like shape from custom cut Plexiglas…
