Artillery-Inspired Home Accessories

Loaded Objects Ceramics are Explosively Stylish

— November 25, 2011 — Art & Design
These artillery-inspired gun lamps by Esty retailer Loaded Objects Ceramics are the perfect gift for that neighbor down the street that you suspect might be a warlord.

The all too convincing lamp base design may cause you to think that you're actually looking at a lamp that is crafted form a re-purposed gun. Such a thought wouldn't actually be too far removed from the truth, as the ceramic bases of these edgy works of contemporary art are crafted by first making a plaster mold of a functioning gun. But, at least this way, you won't have any misfire mishaps.

These controversial, yet artistic, home decor lighting accessories (to murder) would look awesome in a bachelor pad or man cave, and are sure to generate some thought-provoking conversations. However, if your guests don't like them, chances are they will be too intimated to tell you so. Looking to blow away visitors with your home decor choices, Loaded Objects Ceramics has the lamps for you.
