Jul 24 2007V/a.g.r.a. animated lamp

The V/a.g.r.a. is an "animated lamp" designed by Romolo Stanco that uses shape-memory alloy to change its shape whenever it's turned on and off. Although I can't figure out why it's called V/a.g.r.a. It sounds like something I'd find in my spam folder.

Awesome, I always wanted to light the corner floor of my room. And nothing says class and style like a limp noodle of a light hanging out of your wall.

Ironic.
