It was also the most unusual. The “drink” arrived in a glass, but inside that glass was a perfect sphere of ice. The server cracked the sphere with a makeshift slingshot, and out leaked the most balanced concoction of spirits you could imagine, cooled by its own container. But I was jealous of my friend. His order came in this elegant, flat glass vase that was held together by a mere band of metal. Digital Habit(s) Wrap Your Head Around These Gears.

Lamborghini Avenger Watch by Marko Petrovic. Ixxi. Paper Stack Lighting - The Polia Wall Sconce Looks Like a Wall-Mounted Folder. Ethereal Veiny Lighting - Nervous System's Hyphae Lamp is Modeled After a Leaf. Although the Hyphae Lamp looks strikingly singular, it isn't the first time a light fixture or even a piece of furniture has been inspired by nature (and leaves, to be more specific). There is an ethereal element to this particular design that sets it apart from other lamps that have been seen in the past.

Designed by the Nervous System studio, Hyphae Lamp was created via a complex 3D computing process, which more accurately copied the intricate details of the structure of a plant leaf so as to be more natural and unique. Even more intriguing, each Hyphae Lamp is actually grown through a controlled process based on the Auxin Flux Canalization theory, which was developed by the University of Calgary's Algorithmic Botany group. Nervous System applied it to the Hyphae Lamp so that no two lamps are alike, a characteristic also applicable to leaves. Ixxi. Furniture Collection by Arco da Velha.
