I'll have a double shot of light, chilled please...

This is insanely amazing to me...A liquid lamp??!!...This design was created by designer, Christina Ferraz Rigo, to demonstrate the fact that light is not attached to the bulb itself, but is rather its' own entity that can be manipulated at one's will...Aesthetically and artistically, this innovation reigns superior to traditional lighting...I'm not too sure about its capabilities to actually light a whole room, but the effect and the mood set by this liquid light is quite a conversation piece(or lack thereof depending on the situation...tee hee)!

Here's what the designer has to say about her creation:

"My first lamp explores the greatest metaphorical potential of my project by presenting liquid light in its most pure state: as a liquid contained in a bottle that can be manipulated as liquids normally are. Along with this bottle, I have created a set of two glasses that represent a lamp and a bulb – see pictures on the right. By pouring the liquid light into the glasses, the object meaning is given to the light – two new lamps have been created. However, the liquid remaining in the bottle reminds you of its intangible essence – there is no need of a lamp in order to have light. Light remains unattached to an object and able to be placed in any imagined context. I have used the quotidian gesture of pouring as a way to attach, or detach, light to its archetypes.

For the other lamp, I worked with the pervasive idea of the lamp. I worked with proportions and shape in order to create a perfectly recognizable archetype of a lamp. Alongside this process, I implemented the idea of liquid light by using the archetype of liquid, a tap. Therefore, I created a lamp that looks typical when first seen, but creates a hint of curiosity and delight when a closer look is given and the tap on it is noticed. The user starts then to imagine how the lamp would work, and ends up discovering that the lamp switches on – gives light – when the liquid light starts to fill it. In order to switch it off, the tap has to be open and the liquid released."
