Bringing a new meaning to the word “lampshade” this little number is called “The Celebrity” – an Austrian-made table lamp made from 40 pairs of aviator sunglasses.  Even the switch is the arm from one of them.

Apparently the shadows cast from it create a “unique sophisticated ambiance”, but to be honest whether that’s the case or not it does looks pretty cool.  What could be cooler than sunglasses indoors?  40 pairs of sunglasses indoors.

On launch a couple of years ago this thing cost $1,600 but someone’s seen sense and it’s now available from Deeply Madly Living for $160 (just over £100).  How mad would you be if you had already bought one for 10 times that?  And yes, they do a 240v version for this side of the pond.
