The practical bits

Availability

This one has found its home. Bring an object of your own and I can make one like it: start a commission. Or ask me, I may already be working on something similar.

Wiring and safety

I rewire every piece with new cables and sockets. Plugs into a normal socket.

Care

Dust with a dry cloth. The patina is part of the piece, so please don’t polish the original object. Made in my studio at Frankfurter Allee 6, Berlin.
