The humpty lamp is a glass lamp that maintains balance by using a weight located at its base. Because the base is a perfect semi-sphere of glass, the contrast between its fragility and ballast properties is most apparent, To add, because the lamp is maintained by a single focal point, it assumes a surrealist air- almost as if the light is levitating. The humpty lamp can also store the extra electrical wire in its base to allow a different aesthetic if desired. The lamp gives the impression to be invisible, truthfully showcasing the inner workings of any lamp: wire, lamp fittings, bulb, in an honest and cohesive manner.
