Even if you can’t get your hands on any absinthe, you can still have visions of the green fairy thanks to this lamp from Alandia. Apparently, each model is hand crafted from bronze and Tiffany glass in accordance with an original produced by artist Paul Behrens in 1923. As the product page suggests, I have to imagine a room filled with the green light produced from this lamp has to be pretty damn trippy.

The intricate pattern of artist Jordy Fu’s Cloud Lamp Chandelier is handmade to order using little more than a pair of scissors, some recycled paper and LED/fluorescent lights. It’s not something I would be dropping money on in a recession, but it is an interesting piece of artwork nonetheless.

Unfortunately, Grandpa won’t be able to take a hit off of this giant tank—it’s only for show. But as a unique lamp it certainly will strike up a conversation or two. Additional images are available after the break.
The design of this desktop floodlamp mimics those found in large stadiums, making it ideal for sports fans. It may not be the most eco-friendly lamp with six burning bulbs, but on the plus side you probably won’t need to heat the room during the winter.

If you thought the original Scarface rifle lamp was tacky, say hello to this neon covered replica. If the M203 was Tony Montana’s little friend, this must be the whore he had on the side.

Back in the 80′s plasma balls were a popular item—but unless you happen to get lost and wander into a Spencer’s Gifts, you don’t see them around very much these days. Brain-shaped versions on the other hand…now these could really bring the plasma lamp roaring back.
