Studio Job:
Wrecking Ball and Crane Lamp
By Lisa Smith - Mar 19, 2010
Studio Job is at it again, continuing to create lamps and furnishings from iconic cultural references. We wanted to make sure you didn't miss their newest projects: The Wrecking Ball and Crane Lamps, commissioned by the Carpenter Workshop Gallery, where they will be shown later this week (and through May 20th, 2010).
The two lamps explore the theme of industry, miniaturizing the important industrial inventions. Small bulbs light the cabin of the of both bronze structures.
More information over at Dezeen, where all of Studio Job's body of work can be found, in the absence of their own portfolio site.
A few shots follow.
