A ceramic hamburger on a brass-tone stem, the bun incised Chaos Garage and UnderCover, from Undercover in 2002. When lit, the toothed mouth and the interior of the bun glow warm amber.
The Piece
Undercover was founded in Tokyo by Jun Takahashi. This 2002 table lamp is a glazed ceramic hamburger on a metal column, the bun incised Chaos Garage and UnderCover.
The ceramic follows the colours of a burger: an amber bun with sesame, a fold of yellow cheese, a brown patty and a pale lower bun, with white teeth, simple eyes and a small cap at the crown. It stands 45 cm (17.7 in) high and about 30 cm (11.8 in) across, circumference 95 cm (37.4 in). Wired for 100 volts, as used in Japan, it takes two lamps of 40 watts each; the base carries the model number M800. Use a compatible supply or a suitable transformer.
