If you can tear yourself away from that caviar-stuffed omelette for a second, I’ll be glad to show you a beautiful lamp. A lamp so beautiful, it isn’t comprised of gold or rubies. No, this is a lamp made from 121 recycled plastic knives. Yes, like the kind you get at Sea World. Made by the BVD Collective, the knives ...

Sometimes, it’s better to let pictures speak for themselves. These amazing hand-blown glass lamps are from various designers from the Design Miami show that just took place this week. My favorites include pieces from Delphine Rumo and Julien Renault. They may not tell time, but they’ll remain timeless. Hit the jump to see more shining goodness:

Have an old blender lying around? Might as well put it to good use or chuck it. We highly recommend turning it into a lamp because it’s cheap and easy to do. All you’ll need is a screwdriver and and a light socket like the kind you can buy for $3 at The Home Depot. An hour or two later, ...

Mario fans will most likely go apeshit over this lamp. It’s a fantastic, smoothed out replica of the mushroom power-up from Super Mario Bros. that doubles as a lamp. But it’s not just any lamp. It’s an Ambiance Lamp. That’s right. Experience the ambiance this lamp has to offer whilst you drink Absinthe and listen to chiptunes in your beautiful ...

Two years from now, almost every dot-com out there without a solid business plan and/or funding is going to be very unhappy when this whole 1999-esque bubble bursts. So why spend all that hard-earned VC money on a Maserati Quattroporte or a Ford GT when you can pick up this equally-beautiful Maserati lamp from Lumina. Inspired by the grills of ...

My friend Dennis once told me a story about drinking in Japan. Turns out after a few rounds, he did a shot of 2C-E and the night turned into a grooved out trip. Thanks to the bright lights of Tokyo and Akihabara, he was able to roam the streets with something interesting to gaze at for a few hours. Unfortunately, ...

When I forget to turn off a lamp in my house, I get pissed off. It’s not an anger management issue. It’s a “I’m a cheap Jew bastard” issue. Utilities are expensive! Despite my adherence to the Jewish faith, this is one lamp I wouldn’t mind leaving on for days on end, even if it were only to make myself ...

If your home is frequented by children who love climbing your furnishings and eating paint chips and other odd fixtures, or by obese friends or family who are known to munch on anything they can get their fingers on, the Melted LEGO Lamp is probably not the best lighting fixture to showcase in your home. The melted LEGO pieces look ...

Sebastian Errazuriz is a designer who has made some really interesting product ideas, focusing on integrating humor and thought to everyday objects. Take for example, the Chick Head Lamp, which depicts a decapitated birdy with a light for a head. We hope it doesn’t still run around like stories we’ve heard. His other designs include a outfit made from chopped ...

The ETree Lamp uses gorgeous electroluminescent tubes to produce an organic moving light piece. ETree comes off as more of an interactive sculpture than a lamp, just because it’s one of those pieces that are so artsy, it just has to be exclusive. ETree’s 10 bluish-green �branches� can be bent into about any shape you desire, allowing the user to ...
