Ceiling fan designs have come a long way in the past couple of years. With a more eco-conscious generation, people are shunning their energy guzzling air conditioners for the much more economical and highly efficient ceiling fans. However, no one can be expected to go green with the likes of your grandmother’s ceiling fan, complete with wood veneer blades and tiffany-style lampshades! No no, we require fans that have a lunar counterweight which, along with the fan, can orbit around it’s spherical gear housing!

The Matthews Fan Company constructs these beauties out of cast aluminum, heavy gauge spun and stamped steel, Bakelite and ecologically harvested mahogany. Each of their designs is also available in brushed nickel, polished chrome, polished copper, polished brass, dark bronze and black lacquer finishes.

The one pictured above is the Brisa 2000. Check out the Duplo-Dinamico and the Air-Ruthiane below as just a couple of the other available designs.

Consider the proverbial envelope pushed. Italian designer Massimo Giacon created this little guy for Alessi. It’s a bathtub or sink plug that when used and filled makes Mr. Suicide float dead above the water. As if that weren’t enough, he also comes packaged in a little box shaped like a coffin. What a perfect gift for that special suicidal someone in your life!

He comes in three happy colors (see image after jump): blue pink and yellow and is available at Retro Modern for $24.00

“In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous”

–Aristotle

There exists a soap so special that, according to the manufacturer, Noveletti, it is necessary to quote Aristotle to describe it.

The elegant sculpture you are currently viewing is indeed – a soap holder. Certainly not your average soap dish. This stainless steel humming bird ever-so-gracefully suspends your soap bundle from it’s delicate beak via a magnetic button inserted into any brand of bar soap. Of course, if you’re going to obtain such an item, you’ll probably want to splurge another $25 on the Glorious Garden Scented Bath Soaps designed to perfectly accommodate this creation. 3 soap bars per set.

Sure, you could stick that magnet into your household Irish Spring, but that would be more ridiculous than purchasing a $360 soap dish.
