Zhili Goose

Okay I know that headline’s a stretch.  Geese don’t sit on wires or in cages, and as we “journalists” know, you can only work the phrase one way or you lose your punch.  Anyway, it doesn’t matter because LOOK AT THIS GODDAMN LAMP.  It is part of a series of “Bird Lamps” by Shanghai designer Zhili Liu, wherein plain-jane bulb sockets are cast in bone china and mounted at an ever-so-slight angle – creating the effect of birds on wire and in cages.

These lamps are too rad and I feel unable to express with clunky english just how much they turn my crank.  As a gesture of appreciation to Liu I am going to show all of these images at once without a ‘more…’ link.  Look at them, internet!  Bask in their warm glow!
