Not every company is approaching those questions in the same way. Some organizations are responding by racing for efficiency.

It's been a particularly grueling winter, so naturally I can't stop fantasizing about spring.

The product geniuses at IKEA are clearly on a similar wavelength, because the iconic home retailer just launched two new limited-edition SOLVINDEN lamps that'll set the mood for outdoor hangs and make a style statement indoors in the meantime. Oh, and they're both under $20.
