Brian Forde looked around Nicaragua, saw the prevalence of three wheeled bikes, carrying cargo, people, ice cream, and had an idea: create a pedal powered mobile version of the phone call shop, able to go wherever the people are.

Functional, Low Energy Art
(via www.coolgreengadgets.com)
This is a beautiful piece of art created by Nick Foley. Only if I could come up with enough money to purchase this…The light is custom made from hand-forged steel, this tree comes bearing fruit with rechargeable LEDs that allows you to take the lights with you down dark hallways. Once “picked” from the tree, each pear stays illuminated for about an hour. To bring it back to life, just place it back on the tree, where it will recharge for your night-viewing pleasure.
