Ladders are useful, but in a small appartment or bedsit, they take up space and are not a particularly attractive item. Ladder Lamp solves this problem by fusing the features of a ladder and a lava lamp into one combined item.
When not in use to climb up the walls, the lava lamp feature can be switched
on and the ladder deployed in its decorative function. Composed of toughened glass, supported by a reinforced structure, Ladder Lamp is resistant to damage incurred by normal everyday use.
See simple illustration.

I love it. I want it. I'd buy it, you are a genius. |
|

You're too kind. I would of course love to be in a position to oblige. |
|

Clever and artsy at the same time. Bun! |

Awesome. Enjoy warm loaves [+] |

halfbakery ideas with lava lamps |

I have others.... they can wait. |

Nice.
Can the rungs be flow paths? The sides might need some heat controlling diverters. |
|
| |
Also, trying to have different coloured lavas but only a specific lava to a specific rung would be a scientific challenge. |
|
| |
Already upgrades, and nice ones at that. Probably cost
more...hahaha. |
|
| |
//Can the rungs be flow paths?// That leads to
complications, the main one being making them
strong enough to use for climbing on. The beauty
of a lava lamp is its simplicity and purity of colour. |

If the heater is at the bottom of one side, and the liquid convects up that side - along with the coloured "blobs" - then the descending stream of cooler fluid on the non-heated side will pull the flow through the rungs, if they are hollow. Hollow rungs might actually be stronger than solid ones. |

[wjt] is right about the challenge of separating the colours. |

Making the blobs immisicible in the carrier fluid is a known technology. Having blobs of different colours that are immiscible not only with the carrier, but also each other, and have different coefficients of expansion - giving different densities at a given temperature - is "a bit more difficult". |
