Luna Lamp by Acorn Studio
Taiwanese design firm Acorn Studio has created a series of 7 different size lamps clled Luna, which mimic the beauty of the moon. Similar in color and shape, Luna is a hand crafted dimmable halogen light, which contains adjustable luminosity settings.
The aim of the lamp and its symbolic representation serves to set an atmospheric setting in every room it is placed.

I like to imagine aliens that have no concept of creative expression. Aliens that design technology only for efficiency and ease of life. Them having books and movies only to convey information. Imagine how baffled they be by humans. They’d be like “what are art museums? You just go to a building and look at pictures?” “Yeah they’re pretty!” “What do they mean?” “Art means different things to different people. It depends on the person!” And they’re just so confused. Or “why are there… why does this cellular phone, as you call it, come in multiple colors?” “Because people like different colors” “but…. why? Does the rose gold phone have a different purpose?” “No they’re all the same, just different colors” “but??????” Or my personal favorite: humans trying to explain the concept of a person having a favorite color. “Why do humans have favorite colors? Do different wavelengths of light mean different things to different people?” “No they just look pretty. I like green. Green is a pretty color.” “But why??????” “Just because.” And they’re just so perplexed and frustrated

Years of alien research over creative expression only to come to the conclusion: “humans are wack. Why are they like this. An in depth analysis by aliens”

Aliens: “These washers are identical, however one is white and one is red. After studying human color theory, I have learned that red is representative of heat, this must mean the red washer washes clothes at a higher temperature!”
Humans: “Nah it’s just red”

We didn’t #invent #free #WiFi. We only #rediscovered it. The ancient #Atlanteans had already created a #wireless #power and #communications grid over 30,000 years ago, which was then handed down to the #Egyptians and Greeks. After the last #Cataclysm the understanding of the #technology was lost and many of the high tech devices were removed, hidden and destroyed. #4biddenknowledge

i think we just found this guy’s blog
More Solarpunk inspiration images!! To recap: some of the defining features of how I imagine solarpunk are: Art Nouveau + other old styles of architecture and fashion, stained-glass solar panels, sustainable-energy-powered tech, lots of inner-city gardening, and lots of streetcars.
Okay, on to image credits:

7: GaiaOnline avatars made using tektek.org

I really wish I could draw my own cityscapes, but alas, I am no artist. Instead I have to comb the internet, searching for “close enough.”
Maybe someday I’ll have the disposable income to commission artists to draw pieces that are intentionally solarpunk….. Someday….
