I have a friend who worked at Lutron and was growing a serious beard. He was worried that HR might tell him he had to shave it off, but one day as he was entering work, Mr. Spira saw him and said, “Nice beard!” My friend never worried about his beard after that!

This lamp was first installed in 1901 and in 2011 it hit 1 million hours of usage. Yes, 1,000,000 hours! Beat that, LEDs!

Holy $#@%! There are so many things that seem impossible with this installation. Absolutely incredible how it seems to float in midair, create volume where there can’t be, etc. Not as impressive during the day, but that makes the night experience all that more impressive! Anyone up for a trip to Castle Horst (wherever that is)?

This is giving me flashbacks to haunted houses, except with much better design flair! Where are the real walls? What am I actually looking at, as in, what is a structure and what is just a reflection. Brilliant job, i29!

Hahaha! Too funny (and true!) not to share...
