Celebrity come designing
For spring/summer Habitat are launching a VIP for Kids range, supposedly designed by famous people who have been asked to invent things they'd have loved to have in their bedrooms as kids. Star (actually mere planet) of the show is this Moonbuzz lamp (£49), complete with craters, by none-other-than Buzz Aldrin. Tom Dixon, whose hand is evident in the creation of these too-good-for-kids goodies, told me that the legendary astronaut Buzz would have been happier to have an appropriately distanced gigantic sun to complete the look.
For little divas there's the Hollywood mirror (£39) by Miss Piggy – a celeb with somewhat less design cred. 
Other celebrity designers include Sophie Dahl (50s-style dressing table) and Kate Winslet (secret box), not to mention some rather scary dolls by Christian Lacroix and Paco Rabanne.

Hi Amber
This product is a unique product designed for Habitat, a UK based company, so it won't be on sale through any other suppliers. There are Habitats in France, Germany, Spain Thailand and Ireland but none in the US that we know of. habitat also don't do e-commerce so you can't buy one online and get it shipped to the states. Our only suggestion would be to contact habitat directly to see if they do have an export service to US (habitat Customer Service at customer.relations@habitat.co.uk or on Tel +44 (0)870 411 5501.) or get a friend in the Uk to purchase one from the store and ship over to you. Good luck!
