Snow Glow Lamp thrives on fat
Posted on Jun 27, 07 11:09 PM PDT
The Snow Glow Lamp would probably turn most people off when they find out that it is filled and powered with fat. Whenever the light is turned on, the fat inside will melt slowly, which in turn provides more oomph to the light within. The product page mentions that this lamp is every bit an art piece as it is a functional home appliance, providing a commentary on the state today's society is in. It is supposed to parallel the American culture which is powered by fat, sluggish bodies that end up pushing daisies faster than our ancestors ever did. At $436 a pop, that's like the equivalent over 400 Double Cheeseburgers from McDonalds since we're speaking in terms of grease and fat now.

According to the designers they tried to creat a slow product. A product to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday society. Slowness as a quality. To see it as a comment on American society is an interesting one. 400 Double Cheeseburgers. How greasy.
