Despite their somewhat bondage-style theme, the Bound Lamps can still be appreciated for their unique and quirky design. Unless, of course, you appreciate them all the more because of my rather crude comparison.
Designed by Andrew O. Hughes, the Bound Lamps are glass blown creations that are shaped by the electric cord that is wrapped around it. Dirty thoughts aside, there is definitely something quaint and whimsical about this design.
