This is an oldie already (2006) but it's still a treat to the eye; the Flower Lamp by Swedish based 'The Interactive Institute'.

And they come up with cool stuff like the Flower.
The Flower lamp Lamp builds on an increasingly prevalent technology – remote energy metering – to visualise electricity used in the household as a whole. It's basically a smart meter built into a lamp. And it visualizes your energy consumption by adapting its form.
With a decrease in household electrical use, the Flower Lamp slowly opens up and appears to ‘bloom’. If, on the other hand, energy consumption increases, the lamp closes into a more contracted form, which also affects the quality of light emitted.
And a live demonstration
