The High-Design Satin-Finished Steel Floor Lamp

Tilumi Talk

Light is not merely an energy that you smear across a space so your ass doesn’t bounce off the walls. It is a gift and the most important component to our visual world. It is the means by which our eyes see anything and everything, and it is still a phenomenon so complex we don’t fully understand it. That doesn’t mean we can’t harness it to do super cool things though, and the Tilumi Talk wall panel will illuminate a space, but also serves as a sort of digital Lightbrite that can be programmed with all manner of images. Not only can it be set to display a clock or the date, it can recieve messages from smartphones to display emoticons or drawings. Your friends can even send you messages. Let’s see your mom’s clap light do that. [399 Euro]
