If you're the kind of person who likes things that would freak out most other people, then the Liquid Blood Lamp might be just the right gift for the oncoming holidays. Yet, you should also think about your children, if you have any, as this special lamp isn't exactly a thing they should grow up with. Or even better, you could make a nifty gift to some of your strong-hearted buddies who can take a laugh at a creepy piece of lighting technology.
The Liquid Blood Lamp looks rather nightmarish, with its vivid, bright blood-like stream oozing from it and seemingly flowing on your floor into a large stain.
There are two versions of the Blood Lamp, one for tabletop placement and one for wall-mounting. What brings them together is the realistic blood flowing from their shades: looking like a bucket full of fresh blood being turned upside down, the Liquid Blood Lamp appears to lack any stand. At the same time, the shade seems to be kept in place by the “frozen” blood stream which also hides the cable (the desktop model).
A negative version of the lamps is also available, with a red shade and white flow coming out, but there is absolutely nothing remarkable there and you'll most likely miss these lamps as you enter the room. The dimensions are moderate and thanks to the 12.5” (30 cm) height, 11.5” (27.6 cm) width and 8.2” (19.6 cm) depth, these gadgets can be installed in pretty much any corner of your residence. Finally, there's the price of the Liquid Blood Lamps: they're not cheap at all as they retail for
$262 a pop, while the less-frightening white-ooze model comes in for
$227 a piece. Yet they're handmade and look very good. Just remember the kid issue!
