I love aluminum - and this desk lamp is all about it! I started with a beautiful aluminum motor from a vintage model airplane called the Magnum. For the shade, I introduced Mr. Magnum to Mr. Thermos and kept the look aerodynamic. Materials: aluminum, steel 13" high and 14" across 1400.00

A desk lamp that doesn't suck! Created from an Electrolux vacuum head and insect inspired. Pulley acts as a counter-weight while front and center, the aluminum knob makes it easy to turn off and on. Materials: aluminum, brass, painted steel 24" long with 12" wide hood 525.00

This lamp started with an antique trophy base that I found in Tokyo. Considering what we are used to seeing in trophies in this country, I loved the nod to Art Deco in this piece and how the wheels of the train were represented resting on a stylized railroad "track". Materials: aluminum 8" wide by 22" high with the shade 650.00

Remember that vintage toy tin litho seal with the ball on it's nose? I started this piece with one of those balls and the top to a vintage chrome cocktail shaker. The shade was created from a 1950's aluminum cookie jar, painted pistachio with pumpkin orange details. This is a tiny gem of a lamp, perfect for a bookshelf or powder room. Materials: aluminum, chrome, tin, brass 12" high 250.00

I have been creating Erector set lighting for almost 15 years. What I enjoy most is the range of design that can be achieved by mixing pieces from the different sets over the years. Some of the pieces are scratched and worn paying tribute to the original budding engineer owners of the sets, much like myself when I was a boy. 20" high with a 12" square shade Materials: steel, fiberglass, brass 1400.00

For this lamp I laminated an antique lithograph of St. Anthony onto glass which is then adhered to a brass skeleton base. Each surface is covered with a different piece of the original lithograph. 12" high and 12" at its widest Materials: brass, glass, lithograph 950.00

This desk lamp grew out of a vintage tri-legged Danish candlestick. Chrome turns into brass and then back to chrome with the two Chinese Baoding balls threaded into the middle rod.

I fell in love with this beautiful piece of swirled black and gray glass when I found it in an antique store. To think that for so many years these beautiful picture tubes were hidden from most of us in dusty television cabinets! This one is attached to a brass tripod base and illuminated from within as well as from above. Materials: glass, brass, steel 9" wide and 24" high with the shade $1200.00 (can make a matching piece if desired)

In this piece, a found brass ball becomes the centerpiece of this Arts and Crafts inspired table lamp. The ball is cradled by 3 copper rods which run through the base and form the feet. I embellished each rod with hammered copper wire "bones". Materials: brass, copper, silver 25" high with the shade 925.00

I love the modern simplicity of this lamp and the idea of mirrored surfaces for a vanity. I have played with different materials while maintaining the same basic style.

Materials: aluminum, mirror 12" high and 14" long 825.00 each

Digital photography has left these beautiful industrial design icons obsolete, at least as enlargers.

The other lights from below as well as from above and is a rich charcoal color with polished aluminum accents. Materials: aluminum, steel Approx 24" high (with shade) and 6-8" in diameter 525.00 each
