Designed by creative visionary Victor Vetterlein, the Bite Me Edible Desk Lamp is a sugary sweet delight.
The lamps come in bright candy colors including red, blue and green, and have an elegant grace to them as they perch on top of your desk in their angular frame design. Made out of a combination of vegetable glycerin and a gelatin called agar, the lamps are as sturdy as plastic, yet they are biodegradable and edible as well. The light comes from an LED strip that adheres to the inner wall of these illuminators and connects to a cord that plugs into an outlet.
