That damned Icarus lamp from Tord Boontje!!
It is a gateway drug to creeping modern design and the habit aint cheap!

Here is a pic of the brick treatment I suggested in a post above.
I hate the thought of painting brick as much as the next person but am facing the same problem and my brick is DARK red. I fo...

The NYT is striking out, in their death throes, at the only hope they had to survive.
This is why newspapers are dying and it is time for those that can't, or won't adapt, to die.
