@km5_Inc Everything matches, everything mounts on a wall, and the speaker runs about 12 hours while the mixer manages 6. Announced October 28, preorders open November 16, shipments follow in February 2027 or later. Pricing is still unconfirmed, which is very on brand for a cliffhanger.

Seletti took the BIC Cristal, the pen living in every junk drawer on Earth, and rebuilt it at 12 to 1 scale as a lamp. The ink tube became a 22 watt LED, the cap kept its clip, and the whole thing stands 173 cm tall as a floor lamp, pendant or wall light.

It comes in blue, red and black, designed with Mario Paroli for the Cristal 75th anniversary. The US list price is $350 and the first drop already sold out, so the waiting list is the current product. Some objects get commemorative plaques. This one got a power cord.

When the movie ends it closes back up into a display piece for the counter. Officially licensed Star Wars, $59.99, and considerably less dangerous than the original. #objectreport #starwars #popcorn #kitchengadget #productdesign #movienight
