Seeing the Light
EVERYONE HAS A LITTLE mad scientist in them -- some even have big mad scientists in them. Let them out to play with lighting from Frank Buchwald's Machine Lights series (from $2,700, frankbuchwald.de). Among the most refreshingly twisted interior designs we've seen, these lamps are equally at home in the modern hipster's salon or Dr. Frankenstein's lab. Each piece is made by hand in Berlin and takes four weeks to craft from hand-burnished steel and brass. Just keep an eye peeled for torch-wielding villagers.
