Lamp Made of Drinking Straws
The Clutch Light by Scottish designer Scott Jarvie is made of hundreds of colorful drinking straws bundled together, based on the structural composition of trees. The resulting pattern looks pretty cool, or better put by Jarvie on his website: "The reflective inner surface of the straw transmits the light in a directional manner creating a jewelesque effect."

I loved the cellophane straws of my youth - utterly useless as straws since they collapsed and were only about an eighth of an inch in diameter to begin with. They had wonderful transparent colors that I've loved ever since - or maybe i was born loving them.
