Light and Salty
Would you like some salt with your lamp? You could get some, with designer Daniel MacDonald’s ‘shio’ lights. Inspired by the Yellowstone National Park in the US, he uses the physics behind mineral formations around hot springs to ‘grow’ the lamp’s skin. Salt water flows over a translucent plastic and fabric skeleton, forming crystals that attach to each other.

Tech Wireless Wonder
This wireless subwoofer—resembling a shocked emoticon—is the Sub, which links up with other Sonos products, including the Play:3 powered speaker. It has a one-button configuration and can be controlled from your PC, Mac or Android or iOS mobile device. It works equally well standing up or lying down, even under a sofa, with dual speakers pounding the funk into your solar plexus.
