Check out this beautiful, glass-and-aluminum tear drop pendant lamp by famed furniture designer Tokujin Yoshioka. Yoshioka got his start as an apprentice to Issey Miyake; his work can now be seen in places like the MoMa and the MUJI store. Same guy who made the natural crystal chair that I posted on Boing Boing last fall. The lamp's not for sale, but it'll be on display at the Milan Design Week later this month. [via Designboom]
