  • Mushroom LED Lamp by Great Mushrooming / Yukio Takano
    Yes, your eyes <em>are</em> playing tricks on you. What looks like a mythical treasure one would stumble upon in a storybook tale, is in fact a beautiful eco-friendly combination of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/08/02/super-long-seaside-bench-made-from-reclaimed-wood/">reclaimed wood </a>and <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2010/04/08/ge-unveils-new-omnidirectiona-led-bulb-that-will-last-17-years/">LED lights</a>. <a href="http://www.geocities.jp/youkeepon/">Great Mushrooming</a> draws inspiration from the world’s best designer, <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2010/07/24/the-coconut-provides-inspiration-for-eco-friendly-packaging-alternatives/">Mother Nature</a>, to create these luminous mushrooms whose only magic lies in their ability to charm.

    We're struck by how this seemingly odd contrast adds a certain analog appeal to each <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/interiors">light</a>.
