strangely appealing: noose lamp
We’re all for creepy decor in the spirit of the season, but this piece is too macabre even for us. It’s a neon noose lamp by designer Marie Thurnauer. In the current economic crisis, the $6,000+ price tag means it is more appropriate for a museum piece (as an oh-so ironic note of the new “depression”) than real life. Via Gizmodo.com.

I was just reading an article about the planned execution ofTroy Davis and I came in here, all ready to freak out about this lamp. I’m glad to find that no one here is advocating this.
But seriously, a lamp resembling an object used for death? No, thank you. Next they’ll be making one that looks like an electric chair.
