It’s a lamp with a penis, and that won’t change weither you call it art or design.

I’d love to get that “Penislamp” for our boss. It would suit him so perfectly, as he likes to make sexist jokes non stop.

I love these, great pieces. These alone are art, you don’t have to put in art pieces to accent your interior.

“Designers aren’t artists!
Artists can be anything they want to be!”

this would have to be one of the most ignorant statements i have heard in a while. there is no such thing as artist or designer therfor there is no difference. ‘artist’ and ‘designer’ are labels. if i make a chair and call it art am i an ‘artist’ ? if you call me an artist and i correct you and say i am a designer, am i a “designer?”
such an over over over statement i wish would never come up again.

why discuss about art or design… discuss what you see on this pictures… imho thats what counts in the end and this is (to me) simply funny but meaningless stuff in 2009… a penis in art (or design) is no more provocation at all
