Gotta love a well designed product. In my inbox each day i recieve an email entitled "The Daily New." from Mossonline.com. This is one of my favorite products of all time! You can call it like you see it, the Gun Table Lamp. It's designed by Phillip Starck, one of the most literal designers of our time in my opinion. While I don't love everthing he does, I think that this piece is modern while also being historcal. And it makes something very beautiful out of something that's very violent. I have found that design and life share some similarities that stem from differences. It's like an oxymoron. When you can take an oxymoron, and realize it or present it in a way that invalidates the oxymoron, then you've achieved something. The impossible IS possible. The ugly IS beautiful. And the sooner we realize that, the better our world becomes.
p.s.- I've decided that taking the bus might not be such a bad idea after all. =)

Taking the bus is one step closer to turning 'GREEN' (you are already half way there)!
