What's Cool in the Lighting World?

Niels Datema has designed a lamp made entirely of graphite, which illuminates when its two parts connect.  He took advantage of graphite's electrical conductivity to alleviate the need for a switch to turn his Graphlights on or off.  Instead, the base and shade act as positive and negative terminals, which form a complete circuit when they touch and illuminate the bulb.  Graphite, more commonly used for pencil leads, is made up of a specific stable arrangement of carbon atoms that allows electricity to pass through easily.  Read more about Datema's genius product here

Niels Datema, currently a student at Design Academy Eindhoven, has created 'bread spoons', a set of containers made specifically for measuring bread ingredients. the size of each the vessel is precisely large enough to hold the ideal amount of water, flour, oil, sugar and yeast needed for a loaf. the white ceramic bowls have labeled wooden handles, making it easy for users to bake home-made bread.
