Mixing It Up With Mixko

Ever since posting about Pinkberry the other day, I've been hung up with thoughts of delicious frozen treats and I don't quite know what to do about it. While perusing 'TreeHugger', an online eco-friendly meca, I stumbled upon this delicious-looking light fixture, which of course did not help tame my sweet tooth in the slightest.

Whippy - Glazed Earthenware Light Fixtures
This delectable light fixture, nicknamed Whippy, comes to us from design studio Mixko, a UK based design house set up by artistic geniuses Alex Garnett & Nahoko Koyama. Mixko creations include everything from interior design objects and modern sculpture to fashion accessories and cool, innovative websites.

After doing some digging on their website, I was pleased to find a few more super cool, modern looking lamp shades, hanging lamps, desk lamps and more! Many of the fixtures are specifically designed with energy efficient CFLs (compact fluorescent lights) in mind. While some of these pieces are more conceptual than anything, others are in fact available for purchase online via Mixko's own website. Why not take a gander?

Lights out until next time!
