Thanks to Loaded Objects, the idea of firearms just got a lot more stylish.
While I understand that many don't condone the use of firearms or having them in the home, it's pretty hard to say no to what Loaded Objects has created. The talented designer has managed to transform deadly weapons into slick modern lamps that glow radiantly -- and dangerously upon first glance. All of the "gun" lamp stands are crafted from ceramic, with the front of the gun supporting the bulb and the shade. Several are connected so that you get a more sturdy, supportive base.
Whether it's a 9mm or an AK47, each of these pieces allows you to foster your love of weapons safely -- for decorative purposes of course.
