Camera Lamp

Once a camera, now a table lamp.

The arm bends in every direction. With the lens on, a narrow beam; take it off and the light spreads wide.

Before it was a lamp

The camera as I found it, before anything was taken apart.

Taken while it was being built. Every piece is taken apart, cleaned, rewired and set by hand.

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.

Next to its relatives

The whole shelf, all 50

Every piece shown at close to the same size, real sizes under each.

Have an object like this at home?

Come with your own nostalgic objects, ideas and dreams. I’ll tell you honestly if it can become a light.
