MOMA is doing a couple of interesting things with bananas. First is
the Banana Bunker, which protects your banana from being squished in
transit:

Though, as others have pointed out, it doesn't protect your banana so
much as transform it into dildo.

(Also, is banana squishage that significant of a problem? So much so
that the Museum Of Modern Art had to tackle it?)

Next is the Banana Stopper:

Ha ha! It's a real-world representation of those cartoon banana peels!
You know, those banana peels that were always getting wedged under
doors and holding them open!

I love the Germanic product explanation: "Slide the banana peel under
the door to hold it open and amuse those who enter." Ha ha! Thanks,
Mr. Spock!

A riddle: is it still a Target lamp if it's two hunny AND isn't
actually sold at Target?

Another lamp I like is the Atlas:

Also available as a floor lamp.
