Articulated FIFA World Cup Lithophane Lamp

Two novelties folded into one object. The first is the trophy that every footballing nation spends four years chasing, unmistakable in its form, with straining figures rising beneath a raised globe. The second is the lithophane, an old technique in which an image is carved into a translucent panel so that it emerges only when light passes through from behind. Put together, the result is a lamp with a shape people identify instantly from a mantelpiece or the back of a bar, and a picture element that gives the thing a bit of ceremony once the room goes dark. It arrives as a multi-part kit with an articulated element. Squarely a supporter's piece: a tournament keepsake, a present for the friend who reorganises their summer around the fixtures, or a talking point for a room already full of scarves and shirts.
