Lamps made of plates

Old plates, new look: all you need is the right kind of drill bit and a lot of extra plates. The design’s by Denis Belenko and the modeling by Dmitry Nkolaenko.

   Canned air?? Heck, no; that’s what the 80-gallon two-stage oiled compressor in the living room is for! It makes short work of dusting, ripping upholstery up, launching paperback books, etc.

2. [Evil Jim]

   Jeeves will just love dusting this.

3. [eustace]

   On the other hand, chances of something this heavy being knocked off accidentally are pretty slim.

4. [Penrose]

   Oh man, dusting that thing will be a nightmare

5. [Rob Beschizza]

   Canned air, Penrose!

6. [TonksPlum]

   Yeah, I wouldn’t want to clean up after one of these hits the floor.

7. [Enochrewt]

   Just what I need, the appearance of dishes stacked everywhere, when I have so much trouble keeping the dishes cleaned up.

8. [Rob Beschizza]

   Making an impromptu one of these out of dirty dishes would be perfect for a situation comedy scene were the protagonist’s mother-in-law arrives unexectedly.

   Interesting optical illusion: the plates in that image seem to pulsate and throb if the page scrolls up (or down) slowly enough.
