1. Giving Tree
A masterpiece of
design, Nick Foley’s
Pear Light is a delicious mix of art,
technology, and
fantasy. The tree is
a charging station
for the pluckable
pear-shaped bulbs,
which remain illuminated by ultrabright
LEDs for up to an
hour by themselves.

2. Sweater
Edition
Newsknitter is a
“data visualization
project,” which
sounds a bit dry, but
meditation on the
connection between
the news and daily
life. Internet news
feeds are converted
into visual patterns,
which are turned
into knitwear using
a computerized
knitting machine.
