Hasta La Gadget!

I’ve seen some unusual lamps in my time, but I have to say this is the first time I’ve ever seen a lamp that’s designed to look like a dollop of poo. Yep, in this world of crazy, crowdsourced ideas, we officially have they quirkiest product to turn up on Quirky yet.

Designed by Diana Dumitrescu, the POOP lamp lets forth a lovely ambient glow from its soft and creamy pile. The USB-powered poo is made from a soft foam material which allows the warm glow from inside shine through. At this point, it looks like the POOP lamp will come in a somewhat unnatural orange color – unless you happen to eat a lot of carrots. Diana says it could be easily produced in other colors too. Just don’t make one in green, or with lumpy bits. Heck, if you made a white one, it would just look like whipped cream.

Besides looking like Japanese anime dookie, it’s actually a pretty clever lamp design, with a USB rechargeable battery and cool-burning, eco-friendly LED light source inside. Plus, it’s packed in a lovely can simply marked as “POOPINACAN.” How could you go wrong?

If you’re ready to put a steaming pile of poop on your desk, then head over to Quirky now and show your support for the project.
