Lobot Desk Lamp
The Lobot, designed by Jin Seok Hwang, is a desk lamp with an LED lighting source and an anodized aluminum body. Jin Seok was inspired by the movements of the humanoid robot from movies and comic books and tried to give emotion to the lamp. I’d say he was quite successful. The Lobot could pass for a Pixar character. Very cute.

Daniel Arsham: Pixel Clouds
Inspired by photos of clouds that he took with his iPhone and blew up until pixelated, Brooklyn based artist Daniel Arsham used a total of 21,000 ping pong balls (hand-dipped in paint) to recreate the different shades of pixelated color and constructed these 10 to 15 ft cloud sculptures. Daniel Arsham is co-founder of Snarkitecture and is presently finishing up his Dig installation in New York City.

Lekue Steam Roaster
The Lekue Steam Roaster designed by Compeixalaigua Design Studio of Barcelona “is a multifunctional bowl; it takes advantage of silicone’s flexibility to change its shape. In a closed position it combines the advantages of steam cooking with a crunchy finishing produced by the air circulation from its opened ends. When opened it is merely a bowl, but you can prepare, weigh and mix all the ingredients and even serve straight from the oven.” Available here.
