Alpaca 3D Lamp

Breaking news: a small plastic alpaca has officially been declared the most calming object in any room under two hundred square feet, according to absolutely nobody but everyone who owns one.

This acrylic panel lamp uses a 3D optical illusion to make a flat alpaca silhouette look like it is floating above the base.

Sixteen colors cycle through a remote control, so the mood lighting can match whatever emotional crisis happens to be occurring that week.

The base is small enough to fit on a crowded nightstand without knocking anything else off during a half asleep reach for the alarm.

Perfect for the relative who insists every birthday needs something a little different, as if a candle was not already strange enough.

Instructions: plug it in, press one button, and resist the urge to explain 3D illusion technology to anyone who did not ask.

It runs cool to the touch, so it works fine on a nightstand, a desk, or wherever indecisive people keep rearranging their shelves.

The remote also controls brightness, which matters more than anyone wants to admit at two in the morning.

Try owning just one of these and not immediately wanting the entire barnyard collection lined up on a windowsill.
