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.

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.
