Design Public has some very nice items for sale. Check out the Mombo Table Lamp especially. Although there are some fairly expensive items on the site, you can find some cool items for under $100.

Raindance Rainmaker lets you experience the natural power of water. Like standing under a waterfall or in a nice spring shower. It’s the first horizontal rain panel. The flat board, installed flush with the wall, projects far into the room.

From the site: “Experience a completely new shower sensation with extensive scope for movement and with all three spray modes. The 240 mm overhead shower with AIR function provides you with a particularly expansive rain shower, the Whirl function gives you a powerful massage with several jets and the unique broad flood jet places you under a lush waterfall. Of course, at Hansgrohe you can also obtain the matching faucets.”

Signals is a cool little website with all kinds of things to make your life more interesting. One of my favorite items is the Penguin Teaboy. Is your tea too strong? Too weak? Problem solved. The tea penguin always brews the perfect cup. Set the timer for your ideal brew time (from 1 minute up to 20) and he lowers the teabag into the water. When the time is up, he lifts it out.

Nice photos from CNET, where their reporter tours Taliesin in Scottsdale, AZ. He is quite impressed. Here are the photos - Where Frank Lloyd Wright comes alive.

Once I get time I’ll post photos from my recent tour of Taliesin East.
