Yorky light by Hlynur Atlason for Artecnica, $71-86 at artecnica.com

"Aminal" blocks by Studio Dunn, $125 at studiodunn.com
This toy, which doubles as an accessory for a desk or shelf, is made out of excess maple, cherry, and walnut from Studio Dunn's furniture and product projects. Each block features a different animal, and the entire set fits together like a puzzle.
Who Built That? Skyscrapers by Didier Cornille (Princeton Architectural Press), $16.95 at papress.com
