Ceci by Sander Mulder – light shaped like a broken bulb

Ceci

At first glance, this is just a classic light bulb that’s been smashed and melted, but it’s actually a cool piece of design – the Ceci by Sander Mulder.

It’s not just an old bulb – in fact it’s any but – the ‘shade’ being hand-blown from heat-resistant Pyrex glass, while the actual light aspect comes from a high-powered LED light. And as it’s LED, this is one bulb you’ll probably never have to change.

A limited edition, signed and numbered by the designer, you can pick one up for $219, which is around £110.

Fiat 500 Tender Two electric beach buggy

Fiat_beach

Spend your life near the beach? Well, the Fiat 500 Tender Two could be for you.

It’s a variation on the new Fiat 500 by Italian car design firm Castagna and based on the original Fiat beach buggy – the Fiat 500 Jolly. This version removes the doors, tailgate and roof, with the side sills raised and reinforced, a canvas roof used (should you get a shower in your beach paradise) and the interior and cargo bay finished in teak with wicker and blue upholstery.

Oh yes – and it’s been converted into a nippy electric vehicle, capable of clocking up 80mph and with a range of 86 miles between charges. No specific price, as each one is made individually, drop the company a line should you ever find yourself in the sun and in the money.

Tam Tam Lamp – 1960s design classic reissued

Tamtam_lamp

The classic Tam Tam Stool is available in its original seating form, as a designer stool and even as a sound system for your iPod. But there’s now another design variation for this 60s classic – the Tam Tam Lamp.

Once again, this is based on the classic 1968 Henry Massonnet design, but was originally on the market in the 1970s. This modern-day reissue is faithful to that design (using the original moulds), with a choice of chrome or coloured plastic for the body and a bulbous top that produces a powerful light from a 75w bulb.

Prices vary dependent on finish, but start around £145.
