It took me a second to figure out these “lamps”. They are a tricky littke design actually - made from a black vinyl sticker. Light source consists of an Ikea-type cord and bulb lighting system (hmmmph…not included???) Anyway, if you dare to be trendy, get yours at designboom.com for $89.

It is a sewing kit with all kinds of felt shapes, fabrics, threads and trimmngs for you to make little stuffed animals, book covers or any number of other things.

Bilhenry Walker is a designer of avante garde furniture, not to mention a talented painter and sculptor too. His recent furniture collection is called “sculptural furniture” with pieces such as sofas, bar stools and even conference tables and chairs. I am especially intrigued by these great sofa chairs.
