An unused & rusted machine, processed into a funky industrial lamp
The Industrial Revolution in the 18th century,
transformed human lives as it helped transition hand production methods to
machinery manufacturing. Till today, we reap the fruits of those years, when
great men achieved great feats.
Taking a leaf out of this important phase of history, we
decided to create an industrial decor revolution of our own.
An unused, rusted, hand operated bottle capping machine
became our source of inspiration. The machine in itself had this super funky
look – with a turn-wheel at top, exposed gears and solid iron fixtures.
We added two bulbs facing each other – lower one on the base
where the erstwhile bottles would stand and a hanging bulb suspended from top
where the capping mechanism would take place. Then all we were left with was to
wire up the bulb connections to one single plug. And our industrialization
process was done.
Switch on the bulbs and we get a quirky industrial
illumination of our own.
As they say – “history always repeats itself!”
To infuse some
industrial elements in our homes is a rather easy task. Use old home machines
like a mixer or sewing machine or an old camera and give it a paint job or
simply just add a bulb to it. An eye-catching décor element is all ready.
