This lamp is made of an eighteenth century wooden leg prosthesis that I found nearby crumbling old shed in a haunted forest somewhere in the depths of nothern Scotland.

 

I stumbled upon it during one of my mindfulness walks as my trained cat started sniffing the area for truffles (quite strongly actually). Unfortunately, my exquisite tastebuds were not pleased that day, as that old disintegrating piece of wood was the only thing that the creature managed to sniff out.

​

Anyhoo, my studies have shown that it might have belonged to a pirate named Crooked Eye Joe, I am not 100% sure tho.

True story.

Close your eyes and go back in time…

Do you remember the  first house you moved into? Meeting neighbours, parties with friends, assembling Ikea furniture? Fighting with your partner over wall colours, cursing at a boiler that broke in the middle of winter?

Do you remember the house your kids grew up in? The one which you came back to from the hospital with your first child?

I do, and it’s a great memory… One I wanted to preserve.

        When we moved in, our first house had a wooden driveway gate which must have been at least 50 years old. It soon fell apart but for the thick pole dug into the ground, which earlier held the whole construction. To this day I don’t know what kind of wood this is but it’s tough as hell.When I cut it in half and saw the grain and colour I knew I needed to make a lamp out of it. Turn a piece of my first house into an everyday object.
