Levitating Lamp
Created by the Swedish design collective Front, just named Designer of the Future for Design Miami/Basel 2007, it's part of its new Magical! line of furniture, to be introduced at the fair which begins today and runs through June 16.
Elaine Louie wrote, in the "Currents" feature in the June 7, 2007 New York Times Home section, "The Levitating lamp has a shade that seems to float in mid-air. (It actually hangs from the ceiling on thin wire; the light comes from a bulb in the top of the base.)"
Magritte-approved.

For years I've had levitating Christmas trees. They conveniently hover about 3-5 inches from the ground so all I have to do is place a large water-filled earthenware bowl on the floor and slide it under the tree so the sawn-off end is suspended in water. Keeping an eye on the water level and replenishing it is simple and easy.
Thing is , these Christmas tree contraptions (and the whole business of trying to fix things so that the tree stands straight) used to drive me to the brink of insanity -- which doesn't do much for the hollyday spirit. Then I hit upon the simplest solution imaginable: just suspend the f***ing tree from the ceiling. All that's needed is a small metal hook in the ceiling.
