Adam Frank offers an oil lamp design, a wonderfully sculptured design that can double as a shadow projector. Once lit, it renders a soft and gorgeous shadow you can see on the wall. The farther it is placed from the wall the large the shadow become.

The lamp is made from stainless steel and a polyethylene base to make sure it doesn’t scratch surfaces. Each piece comes with two 17-hour liquid wax fuel cells, which are made by Hollowick, the leader in industry safety, and meet or exceed all relevant safety standards. They are odorless and clean burning.

They are available at uncommongoods.com for only $48 if you want one.

The Lumen Lamp

Apparently this news article is something that has me confused in a way. For one, why would a country allow furniture exports into their wing without the proper safety standards that is practically a requirement for the sake of consumers? Perhaps it took a lot of deaths and injuries to tighten the standards of furniture quality. But as they say, better late than never!

This developed as we have seen a lot of recalls, particularly crib safety, and while many of us love cheap furniture, it should not serve as a compromise for safety. Hopefully though with these set mandatory safety certification, better control for erring suppliers who seem more to look at profit over consumer concerns.

The requirement will take effect on November 12, an official from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission said here Monday.

Richard W. O’Brien, the commission’s director of Office of International Programs and Intergovernmental Affairs, said President Bush had signed a sweeping revision of consumer product safety laws on August 14, 2008.
