Custom-made Bolex film projector table lamp
Created to give the impression that it is still functioning and I have added an extra light source on the inside of the body creating a glow through the base grills.
To switch the light on you turn the original projector switch (I replace all electrical parts and PAT test for safety).
Custom-made 'River of light' table lamp
I find the simple, angular lines of this Werra fascinating; it is like no other camera I have worked on before. To wind on the film and set the shutter you had to twist the lens surround.
Fully adjustable in height with a smart red cable.
Custom-made Bolex film projector floor lamp
The shiny shade curves to complement the camera's shape. The oversized opaque bulb is reminiscent of a photographic studio light, 'camera becomes light for camera'. The vintage tripod is a wooden version of today's aluminium studio tripods.
Custom-made light fitting
This custom-made fitting was made to fit in the hall of a Victorian villa in Worcestershire.
Period antique finish ceiling rose and lamp holders complement the encaustic tile floor with the orange lighting flex adding a touch of modernity.
I appreciate and respect the beauty, the engineering and the design of original manufactured objects and I love the challenge of taking things apart and examining their construction and creating something new.
