The Lumi Source 'Woopsy' Lamp is making headlines on the web for its creative and confusing design.
Being sold at Target, the lamp would make an excellent gift for the clumsy design-lover in your life. Resembling a can of spilled purple paint, the colorful fixture is a playful way to interject personality into a space. This kind of creative design typically comes at a high price, so it's pleasantly surprising that a mass retailer is selling the piece. As a matter of fact, the unexpected light fixture is very affordable at $32.99.
Originally popularized by Wanelo, the small plastic lamp is going viral and is sure to sell out. Definitely for a certain type of customer, this kid-friendly lamp is a fun way to 'mess up' a lovely room.
