Washing Machine Lava Lamp

You've got to admit, there is something strangely fascinating about watching your washing machine go through its motions. Washing machine designers knew what they were doing when they made that little round door transparent. Seeing your disembodied clothes entumbling around each other in an oddly sensuous circular dance makes you see them in a whole new light. With no regard for fashion sense or colour co-ordination, illicit, soapy relationships are often formed between random items of clothing which would otherwise never meet about your person.

Shaped like a conventional Lava Lamp, the Washing Machine Lava Lamp takes this alluring aspect of apparell to a whole new (ornamental) level. Instead of lumps of wax, the WMLL is filled with tiny replicas of the contents of your wardrobe. Smaller even than doll's clothes, these tiny shirts, jumpers and jeans are suspended in an oily medium slightly more viscous than water. A tiny propeller revolving slowly and hidden in the base of the lamp keeps the contents in constant, languid motion. From a distance, it just looks like a morass of intricate blobs of colour; but on closer inspection, there's a slow motion waltz going on between your favourite pair of trousers and that shirt you've never worn that you bought from a charity shop.

Each Lamp comes pre-stocked with a single tiny sock made of some mysterious material with a specific density that ensures it will always waft in a lonely fashion around the main column of clothes.
