Leaf it to Herman Miller to turn the humble tasklamp into a glowing sculpture on your desk. Created by design dynamo Yves Behar for Miller earlier this year, the Leaf features energy-efficient and ultra-modern LED lighting in a gracefully organic incarnation—or as Behar puts it, “a fusion of technology with humanity.” An ingenious and invisible heat distribution system keeps otherwise piping LEDs cool to the touch, and an intuitive scroll wheel lets you DJ the color and intensity of the lamp’s light for just the right ambience. Think of Leaf as the high-touch lamp for the next century.—Ian Daly
