Everything amazing is completely usual and can be found around us. I am ready to bet that numerous artists draw inspiration from every day objects and situations, they simply don’t tell us about their discoveries.
For example, the following swell lamp was inspired by the physics of expanding and contracting materials and made by Paul Cocksedge. The swell lamp looks like a part of thermometer but after a closer look you can notice how unusual it is.
What is more, when switched it DO works like a thermometer. The thin glass-tube bulb is filled with a colored liquid and when it heats up it gradually rises in the tube, that is the time for the light to switch on.
