From the maker:
“A lamp and a sculptural object, “phone home” , embodies a weird inbetween land of surreal and familiar. Its inverted bulbs emanate from the handset, hovering above the dialer base creating a strange and unnerving effect .The optional acrylic shade, featuring a gradient gel pattern, casts a soft and eerie light, evoking a sense of the bizarre and humorous. The phone is activated by pressing the 5 key on the number pad and can also be made to ring by pressing the "REDIAL" key.”
