Mioculture Light Capsule
by on 10.11.04
Made from 100% wool felt, Mioculture’s pendants have one colored shell to direct light and another to diffuse it. The lights use a florescent light (woohoo!) and are ease to dissemble for recycling when the time comes to lay them to rest. A helpful pdf on the company’s site guides you through the process. Check out Mioculture’s Treehugger-approved wall tiles, too. Pendants, $65 each. ::Mioculture
Just got mine in the mail yesterday. Several complaints. First, while the look is cool, the wool is thick, which may make for durability, but wastes a lot of light. Second, this product took almost two months to ship because "the parts were on backorder". That didn't stop them from charging me right away though. I feel like I'd need ten to light up my place, which is hardly in the spirit of low energy usage.
