In case you want to turn one of your rooms in a VIP salon or something similar, you might want to try the Celebrity Lamp. This unconventional-looking lamp is composed entirely of 40 pairs of aviator sunglasses, making it a weird combination of retro and futuristic elements. The shades wrap around the bulb, with the tint of the sunglasses making a sort of mirror ball effect on the light, creating unique patterns of shadows on the walls around it. You could even try to tweak it a bit, turning it into a disco ball, or even better, a chandelier with candles as light sources.

It might seem a little odd at first, but if aviator glasses can make your face look that much cooler why not use them to pimp up your décor, right? One thing against this item could prove to be the $1,600 price-tag. But the design idea remains and you could go ahead and buy 40 pairs of Ray Bans from e-bay for a fraction of that unlikely price. Building such lamp on your own could prove a bit challenging, however. Better not use it for the living room. Just build some sort of disco room, place one of these in the middle of the ceiling and see what your friends say.
