Milanese lamps that look like gadgets

Lamponi's Lamps of Milan do a fine range of whimsical table-lamps that resemble everything from a spaghetti strainer to a clothes iron to a biker-helmet; many of the lamp-ends are actually vintage pieces, polished and fitted with light-fixtures. Link (via Neatorama)

So, can you actually make coffee in the left one? Use the light bulb to heat the water.

The artist deserves a Hugo Award for making a lamp out of a Hugo Award.

That was my first reaction, but then I took a closer look. It's a different shape. If it were a Hugo, it would be cooler than your average Hugo; but it's not, so it's just a nifty rocket-shaped lamp.
