For the shadow puppet-loving kid in all of us, Adam Frank gives us Lumen, a stainless steel oil lamp that illuminates—and then projects—one of five ultra-thin acid-etched sculptures on a wall. Based on a study Frank created for Shadow, an art installation exhibited at the 2004 Olympic Games, Lumen comes in various options from trees (Magnolia, Pine, or Cedar) to birds (Nest and Flock). So turn off the lights, and light up the night with ultra-sophisticated shadow play. —Eva Hagberg
