LOVE THE BIRD

LOVE THE BIRD





Above is Love the Bird, a table lamp that can double up as a sex toy! The perched bird acts as a switch to the light when inserted; and when removed, it can be used as a vibrator. The lamp lights up yellow when the bird is inserted and red when removed!

Love the Bird was created by the Lebanese designer, Marc Dibeh, who wanted to make a sex toy hidden in an everyday object to be sold in countries where sex toys are considered taboo (such as in several Middle Eastern countries).

I think I may buy a stash of Love the Birds to give out as presents to my female friends.

My bedside lamp, shown immediate below, is an Art Deco-style touch lamp. There’s no switch, which is always good when you need to turn the light on and off while half asleep. One tap of the base gives a dim light, two taps more light and three taps a bright light, and a fourth tap switches the light off. Easy-peasy!


Would you have a Love the Bird lamp on your bedside table?
What’s your favourite lamp in your home?


Also below is a range of lamps, including an Alexander McQueen-designed lampshade that can double up as a hat!

I do like Art Deco-style lamps. But my favourite lamp is the last lamp shown below, but my girlfriend never stays still long enough when I’m reading in bed!

I would have no problem having a Love the Bird lamp!
My favorite lamp is just an ordinary table lamp beside my laptop computer! (nothing fancy)

My immediate thought was "Why?" But then I read the bit about sex toys being taboo in certain cultures, and now I want to see more of Marc Dibeh's designs.

Worth another blog post, d'ya think?

Great fun... thank you for sharing this!

While not a fan of sex toys myself, I love the marketing idea behind Love The Bird.

And I really like the lamps with the cats! They look just like Guapo!

Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

I LOVE THE BIRD! These are very cool lamps! The next to last photo is gorgeous- I adore a long necked beauty. I'm not sure why I find a long neck so attractive, but there it is just the same.

Would you have a Love the Bird lamp on your bedside table?
I'd really like to have one!

What’s your favourite lamp in your home?
I don't guess I have one. Thirty years ago, while I was single, I had one of those wingback sofas and no reading lamp. I suppose an ex wife had got custody of all the lamps or something- I don't remember. I stuck a pallet board between the cushion and the wing of the sofa and clamped a clamp lamp on it. It made a very serviceable reading lamp- sixty watts! My mother visited one day and was appalled at the device. She went out and bought me a floor lamp and kicked up such a fuss that I capitulated and dismantled the contraption just to shut her up. I'm still rather proud of the thing, and I would do it again if the need arose. I'd have to get another sofa though- the one I have now doesn't have a wingback.

I hope you've checked there's no bird hiding in your favourite lamp!

Having had a quick look at Marc Dibeh's work, his designs are mainly modern and ordinary objects like tables and mirrors. His Love the Bird design is by far his most memorable.

My reaction to the Love the Bird lamp was WTF but, like you, when I read about the thinking behind it I thought it was then quite clever.

Being only a single vibrator, Love the Bird is clearly no match for your dual vibrator!

Here's another long necked beauty for you, and it's not a swan!

    I've already answered these questions, but my answers have vanished for good and I can't be bothered to answer them again.
But I never saw your answers and I'm now devoid of your wisdom to help me plot my future life!
