Seasoned lamps

Images courtesy of Inhabitat.comAfter ten relaxing days of traveling, eating yummy food and discovering wonderful things in Amsterdam and Antwerp, I'm home in the process of getting back in the groove of things. Once I'm done with the unpacking (not my favorite thing to do), I will go through all my photos and material I collected along the way in order to start sharing with you the many cool things I came across in my trip.
   But in the meantime let me show you how you can add a pinch of flavor to your decor with these delicious lamps made of salt. Yes, you heard right, salt. Designed by Roberto Tweraser, the SALT lamps made their debut at this year's London Design Festival and are great pieces that will season any bland space. How savory are they?

Ah, but one significant drawback.

Salt lamps absorb moisture- like a SPONGE!!!
After they are saturated from ambient room humidity, they begin to sweat: Dripping salt sweat like a faucet.

This effect was noted in the 'Himalayan Rock Salt' lamps that were so popular 10 years ago.

Since the salt is mixed with a small amount of synthetic binder this doesn't happen, as the binder seals and strengthens the salt. The lamps you are referring to seam to dissolve after. a while But obviously they are still mostly suitable for indoor use.
