Based upon plant research by entities like NASA, Air Purifier Review has assembled the 15 houseplants that are best at cleaning your air (without electricity). The overall best? The Areca palm, also known as Chrysalidocarpus lutescens . [ AirPurifierReview via Unplggd ]

Small flat-dwellers are accustomed to having one object perform two functions (my coffee table also stores bed linen, for example), but I’ve never seen a lamp become a garden. While you can’t grow a crop of tomatoes in Marko Vuckovi ’s Grass Lamp , the grass will flourish under the lamp’s light and remind you the grass is always green—in a country house. [ Yanko Design ]

Inject some cool ’50s style into your home’s veins, with the Arne Jacobsen reissue of the AJ wall light. First designed in 1956, it was part of the Louis Poulsen range which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The light yellow green color is a new shade for the lamp, but based on the original colors the Danish designer used. It’s a design classic with its asymmetrical shape and tiltable head, perhaps not as well known as the Anglepoise, but should impress any design buffs. Rather pricey at £357 ($552), sadly.

Slaves were creating mosaic objects thousands of years BC, but I bet they never dreamed of a bathtub covered in glittering photo-luminescent mosaic tiles. In fact, I bet they never even knew what a bathtub was. The tiles come from Italy, and while the bath is a custom job, it wouldn’t be too difficult to superglue them to the side of your porcelain tub, so they soak up the light during the day (better have a window in your bathroom then), and then glow in the evening. It does look like it’ll throw a nice blue glow onto your skin, so it’s an EXTRA-MUST for those with a Na’vi fetish.

You have to break open an egg to get to the edible goodness—so it makes sense you’d have to take a hammer to an $800 lamp to make it work. Wait, what am I saying? It may look very cool in its “I’m making a statement” type of way, but to spend $800 on a lamp you need to break open in order to make it work is absurd. Only at the MoMA store, obviously.

The only way the Porthole Bath could be more charming? Through the addition of a periscope. $5,100—nuclear core and depth charge detector not included. [ Water Monopoly via Bem Legaus via bookofjoe ]

I’d probably never use an electric blanket—I’ve just heard too many horror stories that include elements like burn marks and houses transformed to ash. But a water cooled/heated mattress? That sounds downright brilliant. The ChiliBed is similar to all the memory foam mattresses you’ve seen advertised lately, but inside its core, water is either heated or cooled while it passes through coils, generating a massive temperature flux that should emanate naturally from your sleep surface.

For about $24 in parts and 20 minutes’ worth of drilling/bolting, this coffee can lamp can be yours. Just be ready for all the “nice cans” jokes to pour in at your decor’s expense. [ ReadyMade via Unplggd ]

As someone who has an original AT-AT taking pride of place in her lounge, Lifegood Design’s AT-AT lamp has just been offered adoption by yours truly. [ Lifegood via Design-Milk via Katiesol ]

When asking each member of Giz what they planned on spending their hard-earned pocket money on this year, Jason Chen chose this shower . I’m sure after eyeing up this ” cocoon shower stall” he’ll change his mind. Like an egg pod from space, the cocoon is not only a shower, but also a bathtub and hydro massager. Well, it would be, if it wasn’t for the small fact that Arina Komarova ’s creation is just a concept. Rats.
