“How to find classic designer desk lamps and convince people to give you them for nothing!?“
Luke Maynard – January 2020
After lending a hand with a local business premises relocation, not my usual job description, but when projects are thin on the ground the bills still need to be payed and apparently my certain set of skills were needed. Who knew….? Anyway after disassembling and reassembling various work benches, storage units, the lifting, shifting and general hard graft, i was finally rewarded with this gem of a find! Previously used by the business, as lighting on an electronics work bench, which was ironic with the history of the designer desk lamp itself, it was a little worse for ware and had definitely seen better days. “What are you going to do with this?” i asked….. “It was gonna tip it, not sure it even works anymore….” He said…. ” After explaining my plans to restore it to its former glory, he was happy to see it go to a new home. It’s amazing what you can find tucked away in old workshops and to think it was probably going to end up in a landfill somewhere! Sacrilege! I couldn’t wait to get it back to my own workshop and start nursing it back to health. Smiles all the way home! 🙂
