Maglite



I like Maglite flashlights. I can’t seem to have enough of them. Designed by Anthony Maglica and introduced in 1979 the Maglite is an American made design icon. CNC’d from aircraft aluminum with a lifetime warranty it’s hard to find more perfect product.

Buildings of Disaster


Boym Partners create Buildings of Disaster. They are miniature replicas of famous structures where tragic events have taken place- like tourist souvenirs for infamy. Beautifully cast in metal and produced in limited editions theses are great collectibles. Shown above are "Three Mile Island" and "Texas School Book Depository". You can get them at Moss.

The Lytegem lamp was designed by Michael Lax in 1965. Lightolier reintroduced them after a long absence. It's a classic.
