Designer Billy May has come up with his Torn Lighting concept as a discreet way of adding some light to your apartment. The installations conceal LED lights, and look like you've got some kind of weird space-time holes torn into your walls and leaking light into your room. Pretty neat, and a nice way of getting mood light from LEDs without the risk of you being dazzled by their exposed faces. Now if only there was a way to animate the walls to get a proper rippling effect... [Yanko Designs]

Space Intruderz Lamps Invade Our Hearts
I know what you're thinking. These Space Intruderz lamps look a lot like they're ripping off a certain classic video game. But contrary to popular belief, there were no aliens in Pac-Man. Those were ghosts. Ghosts. So these Space Intruderz lamps by Unison Idea Studio are a completely original, lawsuit-immune creation. Each lamp will run you about $50 and you'll have to email the studio to place your order, but at least that means your neighbor shouldn't have decor. [Unison via technabob and MoCoLoco]

GloFab Fiber Optic Lamps Look...Halfway Decent?
When most of us think fiber optic lamps, we have visions of black plastic casing emitting rainbow effects through fiber optic tubes sticking out in pony tail fashion. GloFab challenges the ugly fiber optic stereotype by weaving together what is almost a fiber optic fabric around a single light source, and shaping it into spheres or various custom fixtures. Staring at this ceiling fan that we've meant to replace for years, we're given more ideas, but sadly, not any addition motivation.

Tentacle Chandeliers (To Class Up the Place)
By artist Adam Wallacavage, these "Pulsatilla" chandeliers are both a bit gorgeous and disturbing. But replace that light bulb with a vagina, and you have at least one Gizmodo writer's ultimate fantasy.
This particular model is sold out, but hit the jump to see more octopus/tentacle chandeliers.

Mushroom Lamps, LED Fungus
For those who just can't get enough of scrounging through the forest to collect fungus in its various mushroom incarnations, now you can get the same FUNGtional experience in your home. Designer Simon Duff's mushroom floor lamp is an LED light that sits on the floor. While we like the idea of spreading little lamps all through our house (to trip over and embed in our arches), the use of cords ruins this concept. Since it's LED anyway, stick a battery in there, Duff. Although...we guess there's no specs indicating just how large these mushrooms may be...that cord could be the width of a fire hose. [core77]

Warping wallpaper may be the brainchild of German surrealist artist Tom Hanke, but it's a real product nonetheless. Coming in any pattern you wish, the warping wallpaper creates the illusion of bending and bulging to accommodate doors, windows and pictures. The catch? This wallpaper isn't based upon space age technology, but simple science.

ChronoArt Wall Clock: Well, We Think It's A Clock
Wow, two clocks in one day. We're truly blessed. This one, the ChronoArt II, uses LEDs that shift with the hour. Unfortunately, it's about as hard to understand as Chinese math. The picture heads supposedly reads 12:59. If you say so. I don't know about you, but I'd rather spend $200 on something that won't frustrate me to no end. That, or look at a cat playing some 360.

Media Décor HideandChic: Drastic Measures to Hide That Flat Panel
In olden times they used to hide their TV sets in a bulky piece of console furniture, but now you can hide that screen underneath a picture frame covered by the paintings of the masters with Media Décor's Hide and Chic system. It springs into action when you press its remote control, robotically retracting that LCD display into the wall and then rolling down the artwork like a magic curtain. More »

CEDIA 2006: Tit Bitchin' Media Dcor Plasma TV Frames
Media D cor is a company that specializes in making art and mirror frames that can conceal plasma or LCD televisions. They have mirror frames what will display as just a mirror when the framed television is off, and display the television when on. They also have artwork frames that will roll down artwork when the TV is off, and roll up the covering artwork when the TV is on. Kind of, neat but that isn't the important part of this post. More »
