Teakside Object Lamp


MG Swifte has been in contact on Pool to let us know about a 'tinkered' teakside lamp!

MG says that:

This found object lamp is made from an old teak fruit bowl, a wood veneer fan, a melamine wine cooler, brass window latches, and some tapestry backing fabric. It was made possible by the new compact florescent light bulbs which have a much lower maximum temperature making the range of materials that can be used as diffusers much larger.


It takes a lot of tinkering to make unrelated objects go together to form a unified whole. Often a lamp will go unfinished until I chance upon a method or object that allows it to be finished.



You can read the rest of the contribution on Pool. Thanks MG!
