If you've been waiting for your lights to get off their ass and do more than just brighten your room, your wait is over. The Forms in Nature Light (which should soon be a Kickstarter project) will turn any room into creepy forest. Based partially on the drawings and ideas of the German biologist, Ernst Haeckel, the light sculpture gives off an idea of a real world and an underworld. As you change the intensity of the light (assuming you have it on a dimmer) your room will change with it. Put it in your room and prepare to have crazy ass nightmares.

Since inception, around ten or twenty candles have been featured on Cool Material. Generally we cover more watches than that in a month. Why? Because, quite frankly, most men don't really care about candles. Making things smell good is the job of deodorant, a little bit of cologne and some bathroom spray. But every ... continue reading

Tinker ... continue reading

While it used to be relegated to jerks in cabs, assholes in bars and random people ... continue reading
