Lamps from scooter/motorcycle parts

By Rain Noe - August 29, 2007

This falls under the category of NNCY (new, no; cool, yes), so for those who haven't yet seen Lamponi's Lamps, check 'em out. Italian artist Maurizio Lamponi Leopardi makes light-casting devices out of old Vespas, Lambrettas, and even a Shell petrol nozzle. While true scooter fanatics may find them macabre, like wall-mounted animal trophy heads, we think a second life as a desk lamp is better than rusting on the scrap heap.

That stuff rarely "rusts on a scrap heap," big money selling bits and pieces to the restoration crowd. They look fun, reminds me of some guys that made great fuiture out of salvaged airplane parts..they went busto sadly.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
