My object is a floor lamp as decoration. The inspiration is from filament light bulbs. This type of light bulbs are using same design as Edison bulbs. There are also another type of light bulbs called incandescent bulb, which is the regular and modern one we see in nowadays. The difference is that filament bulb is not really bright, and won't hurt your eye, if you look at it directly. "'Edison' bulbs look different because instead of double-wrapping six feet of tungsten filament into a tight coil, they have the filament stretched out and visible, formed into scribbly lines or primitive shapes". This type of light still exist after more than a hundred years. In nowadays, filament bulbs become to vintage decoration elements.

I recognized the materials that you employed in your light standard, but I would never have thought to use them that way. A really creative approach and a great vehicle for the style of bulb that used; functional and showing that beautiful light bulb off to its best advantage. Great project.

ReplyDeleteI too appreciated your projects display. I really liked your intuition to use the piping as the stand. Great idea considering the hollowness of the pipes for your wiring. Ya I would enjoy having a lamp like that in my studio. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of a light bulb as something decorative before, usually they are hidden just like the wires. I bet you learned a lot about electrical work too - great skills to know if you ever want to work with wires or things like that for a different project!
ReplyDeleteYou might also consider trying different coloured bulbs, some come in multiple shades and patterns, hand painted light bulbs are available at Canadian Tire. It could possibly add a more atmospheric mood to your fixture.
