Midsummer Light found on Artecnica.com
While reading through one of my new favorite magazines (it seems since the baby arrived, magazines are my new friend. I can’t get far enough into a book before the baby starts squalling.) I stumbled across a website called artecnicainc.com. Basically, this company carries a variety of “art” from multiple up-and-coming artist in the Los Angeles area.
Anyhow, there are several pieces that I found very interesting such as this cool retro spinoff clock called DaDa. What really took the cake was this awesome “Midsummer Light.” I think this awesome hanging light fixture would be so pretty if you were having a evening outdoor party. It is pretty whimsical with it’s cascading curtian of flowers and leaves. I think it is just cool. What do you think? You can take a look at all of the colors and more info here.

Cylinder Solar Light
Who said that solar panel lights had to be ugly or expensive? This beautiful outdoor light from Chiasso.com is both functional and modern.
The best part about installing a light like this one is there is no electricity to mess with and it works fully on solar power. It is made to resist rust and built to survive the elements outdoors. At $44.00 – it won’t break the bank!
You can get one here… once they come back into stock!

Chandelier made from exploded party poppers
Stuart Haygarth, a London lighting designer, proves that trash can be more than just treasure! It can also be fantastic lighting!
The above pictured chandelier is made from 1000 exploded party poppers, that were collected after the millennium celebrations in London.
His website doesn’t offer pricing information. Perhaps it’s one of those “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it deals.” However, it definitely qualifies as “hip” in my book!
