Bread… It makes sandwiches and croutons possible, and is a great resting place for soft butter. Now, bread is here to help provide some mood lighting.
Pampshade, created by Japanese artist, Yukiko Morita, is a series of bread lamps. The best part, is that Pampshades are made from actual loaves, buns and croissants. The breads are coated in resin and given a battery insert or power cord. Find out more about the carby lamps here.

The Cheese Grater Kitchen Lamp is brought to us by Dominique of ViolettGerbera. Inspired by a lamp that appeared on That’s ’70s Show, you can make one yourself and have the finest, or coarsest, lighting for your kitchen.

Garlic… It helps improve upon Italian food, makes our breath extra stinky, and wards off vampires. Now, garlic will help light up the room. The Garlic Lamp is brought to us by Ukraine-based designer Anton Naselevets — inspired by the beautiful form of the dracula-repellent.
Consider using one to light up any vegetable-themed rooms in the house, your Italian restaurant, or anywhere the undead aren’t welcome.
