Of course, Kayla Kromer’s Millennium Falcon bed might be the sexiest piece of geek furniture in the galaxy –especially when she’s curled up on it in her full Princess Leia outfit.

Now you see it, now you don’t. This clever lamp is our latest obsession. Simply called “LIGHT“, it brings new meaning to “throwin’ shade.” Flip it on and light shines through a finely cut hole to create the illusion of a classic lamp shade shape against your wall. Minimal with a touch of humor, it’s attractive, interesting and a total conversation starter.

This creative furniture is created by designer Jay Watson. It consist of simple black table and a bench that he calls Linger A Little Longer, and all that it needs is some warm touch to show you it’s magic. What makes this ordinary furniture so special – heat sensitive paint (thermochromic finish) that reacts to heat source. It can be your body or maybe warm cup of coffee, anything that emits some kind of heat and the simple black table starts to react by transferring your heat footprint to it’s surface creating some kind of watercolor paintings, or X-rays. The “watermark” will eventually begin to faint as the table cools down, and will again be flat black.
