The Best Bet
Mathmos’s new soporific Space Projector is like a modern version of a magic lantern, and an enchanting way to soothe the kids to dreamland.
A slowly rotating color wheel projects pleasantly hypnotic shapes, from airplanes to soothing amorphous blobs (like the one seen here), onto the nursery wall. Its trance-inducing properties work equally well as ambient psychedelic décor for grown-up parties, so plug
it in, cue up the new Basement Jaxx, and
chill out ($135 at Hasker,
333 Smith St., nr.
Carroll St., Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn; 718-222-5756).
