Japanese fashion brand UNDERCOVER created a very unique home light fixture that's sure to be the center of any room's attention with the Hamburger Lamp.
Created by designer Jun Takahashi, the Hamburger Lamp was originally released in 2002, where it quickly sold out and became a sought-after collector's item. Besides the obvious selling point -- a lamp shaped like a hamburger -- the Hamburger Lamp also features piercing cartoon eyes and razor-sharp teeth that both illuminate when the light is turned on.
Produced by Japanese toy company Medicom Toys, the lamp's re-release comes attached with a $150 price tag. Those interested in acquiring their very own light-up hamburger lamp should also be sure to hurry, as this iconic design will only be made available to the public in limited numbers.
