The Motel Lamp is an eerie, altered item featuring a mid-century modern design with a brutalist twist. Its base is a geometric, asymmetrical structure made of a cold, metallic material with a slightly weathered texture, suggesting age and neglect. The lampshade is translucent, emitting a faint, pulsating glow that seems to defy the laws of physics, casting unnatural shadows. The surface of the lamp has intricate, seemingly random engravings that glow faintly when the lamp is active, adding to its surreal and unsettling presence.
