Living Lamps

Over on Xhibiting, I made a post on a couple of very interesting lamps which defy our typical conception of what a “lamp” is:

If you’re like most people, all your life you’ve learned that lamps are supposed  to be rigid things with no flexibility. No life. No character. They’re “supposed” to be boring, not exciting. Static, not dynamic. We wouldn’t want to jeopardize their role as bringers of light, now would we?

Wrong. I say defy the convention!

Take this Abyss Table Lamp manufactured by Kundalini (whose name, incidentally, is the Sanskrit word for the coiled “serpent power” which rests within each of us).
