Archimedes' Dream: Pi on an OLED ray

by Thomas Ricker posted May 29th 2007 at 4:42AM

Sure, you can roll old school with a Waterford chandelier slung from the ceiling. Better yet, why not fantasize about ancient mathematical screws with the help of this, the "Archimedes Dream" from designer Makoto Tojiki. The glowing ribbon of pale blue (or pink) light is constructed from our favorite kind of LEDs -- OLEDs. Better yet, if you look closely, you'll find an approximation of Archimedes' constant, Pi, gently swirling methodically into exhaustion. Designed for ceiling suspension or for use as a floor lamp. Eureka!

Or you could use to to keep away the monsters if you ever get stuck on a planet with 3 suns during the night cycle when the baddies come out.

No buy link? This actually seems worth sinking the extremely over the top dollar amounts that designers like to slap on silly contraptions.
