From the "You've gotta be kidding me department" come two lamps from Franco Zavarise and Ingo Maurer sure to piss off New Yorkers: The Ociu and the Seven Rats Table Lamp, respectively.
The former is a 72-inch pendant lamp, which I agree is beautiful, but makes me bitter because no one I know could fit this darn thing in their apartment. Plus, how much juice does this thing suck up? And is it just me, or does it look like the kind of thing where you pull a lever and this falls onto James Bond, trapping him underneath it?
The latter is a table lamp (admittedly from '07, missed it the first time around) comprised of seven rats trapped in cages. This is every New Yorker's dream. Another thing we need is a silverware set that uses cockroach shells for the bowl of a spoon and their grotesque little legs for the fork tines.

it's really not fair to harshly judge a product based only on it's incompatibility within a single American city.
i expected better from you.
