More than simply a light fixture, New York designer Mark Tremonto’s ribbon-like Carbon 451 Lamp is the centerpiece for an interior space that really needs a cool focal point. Designed from carbon fiber, the same reinforced plastic that manufacturers use to create car doors and reinforce helicopter tails, the Carbon 451 Lamp almost seems more like a chandelier: cleanly hanging in its own spectacle from the ceiling of a tall space. Because of the lightness of the material, the lamp has the ability to look weightless, and the decorative curvy design is so striking that it almost looks like it should be made of fabric. What I personally enjoy is the fact that the polished surface is so reflective that you can actually see reflections of the light in the small, inner curving spaces. If you’re into fashion and want something durable, this may very well be the light fixture you’ve been waiting all your life for. – via

If you are the kind of person who really want to annoy your neighbor then you have to see this amazing piece of technology. The Wall of Sound (WOS) by Brothers is a huge iPod speaker that measures 950mm x 1250mm x 300mm and weighing 102 Kg. The speaker boasts 28 elements, an iPod dock, and a frequency response of 40Hz – 20,00kHz, and can rock up to around 125 watts. It even has its own tube amplifier hidden away inside and yes, that tiny protrusion on the side is an iPod dock. What scares us particularly about “the world’s most powerful iPod speaker” is the price – from $4495 plus shipping ( because the weight is around 102 kilo ). The Wall of Sound (WOS) Giant iPod Speaker is currently available for pre-order from here. I’m wondering how many of you have space for an Ipod Speaker like this in their homes ? – Via – Geek & PL
