The Steampunk Baby Mannequin Lamp looks like something straight out of a horror movie. More specifically, the lair of a mentally disturbed killer. As though cast using a broken babydoll toy, it has a creepy industrial appearance that is made even creepier due to the lack of arms and a proper head.
Created by Paul McCue, an artist based in Oakville, Ontario, who is known for his pop culture steampunk helmets, the Steampunk Baby Mannequin Lamp is made using the form of an actual child mannequin. Painted a rusted and weathered metal finish, the desk light is certainly unique. Although the look of it is undeniably disturbing, it is hard to ignore the striking detail and obvious craftsmanship put into it.
