Now you can install a sun in your house, minus the scorching heat ofcourse. Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here. Here comes the sun, here comes the sun. And I say it’s alright. Even if it’s made of Swarovski crystals. Stella is one of those lights that make me want to have a giant house with giant ceilings, a gigantic disco ball shining with light of a billion suns. OK, maybe just a few lamps here and there, but amazingly beautiful anyway. It was designed by Tokujin Yoshioka for the Swarovski Crystal Palace, and it will be available for public enjoyment at Milan’s Design Week 2010.

This is something out of a Star Trek episode. In the endless pursuit of the perfect chair, Korean designer Eerang Park has created a simple yet elegant chair. Using just eight folded steel plates at 35-degree angles, the chair looks light, yet is said to be sturdy. If a freestanding Roman arch can work, I guess this structure can be sound as well. How comfortable the chair is remains to be seen. If there’s a lightning storm anywhere nearby, well, consider moving to the futon.

Check out the gallery to see how the chair is put together.

Here is a beautiful butterflies effect using trashed beer cans, eww, but it looks so cute. When you take a close look at a beer can, you may notice that they have a really nice arc to them. Artist Paul Villinski has taken that same arc and turned it into butterflies in flight.  Rescuing crushed beer cans from the streets of New York City, Williams carefully cuts each can and creates a marvelous fluttering array. He states that similar to the life of a butterfly, his process is representative of a cultural conversion all its own exploring “themes of transformation and recovery through metamorphosis.

Now this is something that belongs in Bruce Wayne’s den: a piano hidden in an innocent looking table.

Pianos are wonderful instruments, but they’re also bulky. You need to dedicate a pretty serious amount of space to them, so they’re tough to fit in small apartments.

KitchenAid, always looking to be innovative in their products, like the Briva in-sink dishwasher, has added a new refrigerator to their appliance lineup. What makes this refrigerator innovative? It contains a built in USB port, among other tech amenities like a full color LCD screen and LED lighting.

You might ask, why does a refrigerator need a USB port? The USB port, according to KitchenAid, is for loading images. While we are not sure how often we would use this, we do appreciate the other features of this refrigerator like the full color LCD screen. The LCD screen serves a variety of purposes including care and use information, a kitchen timer, information on ingredient substitutions and measurement conversions. Other tech forward features of this French Door bottom freezer refrigerator include LED lighting which efficiently illuminates the interior.

In addition to the looks, and tech features of this refrigerator, we also love the in-door water and ice system which provides precise measurement of water for use as a cooking and baking ingredient, in addition to providing filtered water and ice. We think this would come in handy when cooking and baking by providing one less ingredient we would have to measure. Of course, like many of the competitors of this refrigerator, there are individually sealed storage compartments including a pantry compartment with an independent temperature control and a crisper with extra gaskets for perfect sealing and humidity control.

This new refrigerator will be available starting in April at a suggested retail price of $2,800. For more information, see KitchenAid.
