After a brief shot at being practical and ingenious, the Japanese are back to being weird again with this morbid and messy yet minimalist lamp from DCS Corp:

Designed by Kouichi Okamoto, the Liquid Lamp is made of steel and comes equipped with a 25-watt bulb. The puddle of red stuff is actually the lamp’s stand, so from a distance it looks like the lamp is floating. A wall mounted version is also available:

Nice. I wonder if the red dots also come with the lamp. If the red liquid creeps you out, then you’ll prefer the (grayish) white version:

The liquid lamp is available at Japanese design shop caina. The red liquid lamp sells for 23,100 yen ($262 USD); the white version is cheaper at 19,950 yen ($227 USD).
