That’s right—sophisticated design has a new name, and you spell it B.L.O.B. This unique collection of lamps is the brainchild of designer Karim Rashid and there are versions of various sizes that can function as floor lamps, desk lamps and even indoor/outdoor seating. The version pictured above is the Blob XL indoor / outdoor, but [...]
Ski Bum 3000: Robots Rock The Slopes of the Future
Inspired by “the retro designs of old bowling alleys, diners and tine toys from the 30’s through the 60’s” artist Toby Fraley has designed a line of whimsical robot lamps that are sure to delight and confuse all who gaze upon them. Each design is handmade out of mostly recycled parts so don’t be shocked [...]
Indiana Jones Fertility Idol and Crystal Skull Room Lamps
Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of lamps based on props from the Indiana Jones movies—but the fertility idol version is a bit unnerving. If by some miracle you actually manage to score with a woman in a room where a lamp like this is displayed, don’t be surprised if she comes knocking [...]
“Merciless” the Gargoyle Light Brings a Subtle Charm to Any Room
The thing I like best about the “Merciless” Gargoyle Wall Sculpture is that it is subtle. Something than can blend in easily with the rest of your normal, everyday, non-gothic castle decor.
Seriously though, this amazingly detailed sculpture is the work of artist Gary Chang and accepts a standard 40-watt bulb.

The Movie Camera Lamp is for anyone that dreams of being in the movies, but finds themselves trapped in a cubicle behind a desk. Add the Hollywood Theater Desk Lamp and create your own desktop studio (pictured after the break).
Beer Mug Lamp With Hypnotic Pouring Action!
If you thought a good old fashioned beer mug lamp was as tacky as it could get—think again. This version definitely kicks it up a notch with a pouring effect and a wild claim that it can be used to “regulate the moisture of the room.” That doesn’t make a damn bit of sense, but [...]
Orange Juice Motion Lamp: Drink in the Ambiance
As if regular lava lamps were not bad enough, the orange juice, milk and ketchup versions take tackiness to a whole new level. If you don’t mind treading on a little uncharted interior design territory, you can grab one of these 16″ tall lamps to pimp out your pad.

Lamponi Artistic Lamps
You have probably already seen the line of Lamponi Vespa Lamps, but Maurizio Lamponi Leopardi is no one trick pony. A few of the unique designs are pictured above. From the faucet design to the carburetor lamp to the Shell gas pump to the hair dryer, each is a unique interpretation of objects he [...]
Microphone Lamp
This microphone makes a great little lamp for lighting up small areas with a diffuse glow. But all I can think of is how you could amuse yourself while playing Rock Band. Just tell some drunken fool that the mic hanging from the ceiling is what they have to use for Rock Band. Watch them [...]
