With global deforestation almost complete, these simple wood sculptures by L.A.-based artist Paul Foecker, made from Coastal California Cypress will do more than just add a natural element to your drawing room; they’ll teach your future grandkids about biology, tree rings & the mysteries of nature in a way that computer simulated wood simply can not.
Don’t worry you won’t have to read this book because actually, it’s a light. A lamp: bright enough for reading, ambiance, & hunting in the back of the closet. Its unique fold-up design also makes it super portable. Open it anywhere or mount it instantly on metal surfaces with the magnets that are built into the covers.
This lamp is not just some anonymous piece of lighting hardware. It’s Japanese and was born in the 70s. Saved from the salvage yard by the craftsmen at Classified Moto, this old camshaft has been re-purposed & transformed back into a useful piece of machinery.
You may have used some of the same materials, but your shop class projects probably never looked this good. From the vintage bottle (Cumberland Brewing Co of Maryland 1890-1920) to the cloth insulated power cord, this lamp is pure retro and handmade in the USA.
Let’s see if we can get you excited about a lightbulb. This one is powered by an app that let’s you control lighting in your home from your iPhone or Android device. Instead of some bulky timer hanging out of the wall, simply set the timer on your phone. Use if for cutting energy costs, safety and security. Or, since it changes a rainbow of colors, just dial in the mood lighting.
Even if you’ve got a bearskin rug and a Javalina head hanging on the wall, “decorating” your office can feel a little less than manly. We found one more item to offset those skirtish feelings. It’s a military-inspired black anodized aluminum lamp that adjusts using a tactical tri-rail system.
This little desk lamp is more than just a source of light it’s also a source of entertainment. It comes with a gun so you can shoot it on and off.
Some crazy bastard once said “art is whatever you can get away with.” These Beatty pendulum lights are a perfect example of that idea. The light’s steel sheet shades are perforated with a blast from a shotgun. Yup, you read that right. A shotgun blast.
This lamp is the bomb. Sorry, had to say it. Does anyone still use that phrase? The Blitz Bomb lamp is made from a WWII-era surplus MK23 bombshell. The teardrop-shaped bomb is polished to a shine then sealed against rust and features a classic cloth wrapped cord. Without a shade, the lamp stands just over 10-inches tall and will not explode.
Luke’s Lamps feature industrial, shop-built styling, like some weirdness out of a Tim Burton movie. We think that’s a good thing. Made with Edison-style bulbs and repurposed industrial materials, they’re truly unique. Lots of different styles, all handmade by an actual human in the good ole USA.
