Defecating Dogs Brighten Up A Room. Pooping Dog Lamps By Whatshisname.

The Good Puppy Table Lamp and the Good Boy Floor Lamp are designed by a Polish born artist who now lives and works in London and goes by the obscure moniker What's His Name.

The two dumping dog lamps, a Chihuahua and a Great Dane, are about as sophisticated looking as canines taking a crap can be. Both have On/Off switches shaped as dog turds that needs to be pressed, or in case of Good Boy lamp, stepped on.

Good Boy:



Good Puppy:


Both lamps were supposed to be part of London’s the Art Below exhibition on London Underground stations. Even though organizers accepted the work, unfortunately London Underground banned it for being offensive.

He now creates them as made to order pieces in limited numbers.

Creating the lamp takes about one month.

The Mano Bedside Lamp From Fontana Arte Might Just Give You Nightmares.

Talk about a creepy bedside lamp. This Mano lamp from Fontana Arte was originally designed in 1932 by the late Italian art deco designer Pietro Chiesa and has been reissued from the Italian company. It's a bit like having Thing from the Addams family share your bedroom with you.




The soft black matte lamp with a fabric shade has a white human hand cast in marble powder and resin reaching up the stem.

The Mano Table lamp is equipped with a dimmer with a base of marble powder and resin and square section stem in metal, both painted "soft" black matte. The hand is cast in white marble powder and resin and it has a diffused shade in black fabric lined with white PVC.
