Yeah, it's a bit gimmicky, but the bowling pin is an iconic and fun form that lends itself well to a diffusing light shade. Designed by Josh Owen, the Knock Off lamp even features a name that calls for a rim shot. But anyway, gimmicky is only half a tone away from clever.

This modern Knock Off Light is not only fun to look at, but it also has a genius brain inside. Stand it up tall and the pin glows with a beautiful light inside, knock it on it's side, and it turns off.

When they're standing, they're "on," when they're knocked over, they're "off". Turn off the lights and pull out the bowling ball - your living room can easily double as a cosmic bowling alley!
