Before it was a lamp

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

The practical bits

Availability

Available now. Price, delivery and a time to see it lit, in my first reply. Collect it from the studio in Friedrichshain, or ask about delivery.

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.
