Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Melty Chocolate USB Lamp is Deliciously Deceptive

— April 20, 2012 — Art & Design
Unless you have a habit of uncontrollably and immediately licking everything you perceive to be edible, you're going to love the Melty Chocolate USB Lamp.

This functional lamp is a great way to light up your workspace, as well as make you incredibly hungry and unlikely to actually get any work done. Available online from Japanese retailer JTT Online, this sweet-looking lamp can be yours to constantly remind you to stop by a coffee shop or head down to your kitchen and brew yourself another pot of joe.

The Melty Chocolate USB Lamp is powered through your computer via a connecting USB cable that is included with the lamp. It also includes three different cup shades, but you can also use your own paper coffee cup since LED lighting produces no heat.
