Oops! Interactive Lamps That Make You Think They’re Broken

Has someone ever broken something of yours when they’re over at your house or have you broken something at your friend’s house? All kinds of panic and shame fill your body, right? Yuue Design decided to take that embarrassment and turn it into a bit of unexpected fun in their collection of Oops! lamps.

In the collection, two types of pendant lamps will make your guests pause the next time they’re over when they go to turn on the light. When the lever is pulled to turn the lamp on, the light bulb comes down away from the shades giving the illusion that you’ve broken it. Surprisingly, the lamp turns on instead.
