Upcycled/repurposed steampunk and industrial themed lighting. All with economical mains voltage LED lamps to help with your bill and save the planet!
I welcome custom orders and commissions so if you have something you would like making, repurposing or restoring, get in touch and let’s talk about what we could achieve.

I acquired some old spanners and noticed that several had originated from behind the Iron Curtain. Wanting to keep the connection I made a themed desk lamp stand from them.

Full description

A novel desk or task lamp with a stand constructed from five old spanners, all of which originated behind the Iron Curtain in the 1960s or 70s. The spanners, from East Germany (GDR, DDR) and USSR, are welded together to form a tripod stand which holds a new brass bayonet cap (B22) lampholder fitted with a vintage spun aluminium shade which has had the paint removed and been polished to a nice shine.

As this is a desk/task lamp, I have selected, to supply with the lamp, an 8.6W white bulb, equivalent light output to a 60W incandescent bulb.

My Iron Curtain Desk Lamp is supplied ready to use with a generous 2 metres of black flex fitted with a black British Standard plug with the correct 3-amp fuse for this appliance and a black inline switch.
