Tomorrow (5/7) is the last day to enter the LAYERxlayer SPRUCE Clamp Giveaway.

Enter here.

The following post was sponsored by LAYERxlayer. Our sponsors are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.

You’ve seen it on Deconstruction, and now you can own your very own SPRUCE Clamp handmade by LAYERxlayer (a $100 value)! Details below.

Thee SPRUCE Clamp is a new take on desktop organization. Made entirely out of sustainably harvested Poplar, the clamp can be attached to any desk or table. Although it was designed with productivity in mind, the Clamp is equally functional in a more casual setting. Imagine using the Clamp to hang tea cups or even a small plant to “Spruce up” your dining experience.

Interesting perhaps, but what really makes the Clamp incredibly useful in a work environment is the fact that frequently used tools can be reached at a moments notice, yet still remain completely out of the way. Nothing slows down productivity more than a messy work space — the SPRUCE Clamp aims to keep everything in its right place.

LAYERxlayer is the collaborative studio founded by Patrick and Leah. We Make what we Design — this practice allows us to better understand any given project, and ultimately, become better designers. Over time, LAYERxlayer will become the umbrella under which new designers and makers collaborate in an effort to solve various design issues. Our goal is and will always be to design and make things that are functional, fun and of the highest quality. Proud to be Designed & Made in the USA.

Congratulations to commenter #3, Gianna!

The Philips LivingColors LED Lamp is a small floor lamp with four LEDs that cast light onto any wall or room creating instant mood, ambiance and color. It comes with a remote that controls the color and saturation giving you 16 million different choices of color. The retail price is about $199, and Philips sent me one to test and review.

First of all, the design of the piece is very nice. The use of a clear globe makes the design fitting with some of the most recent trend of exposed bulbs. I also like how it resembles a speaker. It fits nicely on the floor in any little nook you might have. Although, it seems to rest a little less happily on plush carpeting than on a flat surface.

Tomorrow (3/5) is the last day to enter the Spore Doorbell Giveaway.

Enter here.

The following post was sponsored by Spore Modern Doorbells. Our sponsors are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.

Our giveaway this week is courtesy of Spore, a company that we have featured in the past whose modern doorbells are simple and sophisticated.

Spore is going to offer one of our readers a True doorbell, which is the latest addition to the Spore family. Departing from its more colorful predecessors, True makes a more subtle impression with a halo of illumination emanating from an anodized aluminum shell. Available in three metal finishes (aluminum, bronze and matte black) and three illumination colors (white, amber or blue, as well as a non-illuminated version), and the winner gets his/her choice of finish and illumination.

More about Spore:
When industrial designer Ted Pierson considered objects that could use an overhaul, he realized the doorbell button was due for some attention. Long neglected as a mere afterthought, Pierson saw the button as an essential part of the home entry. After receiving accolades for prototypes from top design magazines, including I.D., Spore was created in 1996. The ultra-modern buttons have made Spore popular with architects and homeowners alike. Spore is a family-run company based in Seattle, Washington. All Spore products are designed from the circuit board to the faceplate.

Rules: To enter, simply comment on this post and tell us the name of an architect or firm in your region that is doing great modern residential work.

One entry per person. Contest runs from March 1, 2010 through March 5, 2010. We will choose a winner at random.
