Despite being outdated, inefficient, and harmful to the environment, the oldschool Edison Lightbulb has somewhat of a cool factor.
And with good reason. It’s a classic, providing a certain sense of nostalgia and warm, glowing comfort that suits the romantic restaurant scene perfectly.
But the trend of using these bulbs for restaurant interiors can’t continue for long, it’s just not environmentally friendly.
So London based design brand, Buster and Punch, have come up with a solution.
The Buster Bulb possibly the sexiest lightbulb we’ve ever seen. It’s also far more efficient than the Edison Bulb thanks to that fancy LED technology.
Often criticised for its clinical and harsh lighting, crafting the LED to be softer and more beautiful product is definitely a challenge.
But Buster and Punch seem to have done it, and done it right.
But style doesn’t come cheap. A Buster Bulb will cost you around AUS $100 (plus postage from London), $250 for a bulb and pendant, and $340 for the leather light shade by itself.
Then again, you could always pick up an Edison for few bucks.
The QWERTY keyboard we use today have been around since 1873, and Industrial designer and user interface specialist, Corey Stone, doesn’t think that’s up to snuff.

Faster, more efficient, definitely more interesting. Check it out herokeyboard.com and pick it up for your iPhone quick-smart.
