Design Porn: His and Her lamps from Matt Pugh

I couldn't decide about Matt Pugh's animal lamps earlier this year - cute animals who had stumbled into mishaps, or creepy monsters of genetic mangling? While I'm still not so sure whether Mr Pugh should be allowed to meddle with our furry creatures, I'm in full favour of him having a go with us humans. Just check out these his and her lamps.

Like the animals, these two individuals seem to have got their heads mixed up with a lampshade. Beheaded humans may not seem like the most chirpy subject matter but these lamps saved from looking too sinister by their cartoon-like outline (I'm thinking Popeye and Olive Oyl), so hopefully they can stand on your bedside table without giving you nightmares. In fact, for a cute bedtime coupling, you could pop one on your and your partner's bedside tables.

On that line of thought, one good thing is that the lamps are sold individually, so you can buy the lamps as a his and her coupling, or her and her, or him and him - whatever coupling (or more...) that takes your fancy. Just one major drawback that I can see - the price. The lamps cost £95 each from Bouf. Ouf.
