If you need any more of a reminder as to just how dangerous nuclear weapons are, then check out the Mushroom Lamp 2. The Mushroom Lamp 2 is a functional work of art created by design studio h220430.
The compact lamp is designed in the shape of a -- you guessed it -- mushroom cloud. H220430 did a really good job of hiding this lamp's true meaning from the world. The lamp invites conversation as it has a unique look that isn't able to be deciphered at first glance. The bubbly structure of the mushroom cloud almost looks as if the lamp is a model of an atom. That wouldn't be such a bad guess actually as the lamp is meant to symbolize the thousands of atom bombs floating around the world.
