Coolest. Lamp. Ever.

Coolest. Lamp. Ever. - Call it a stupid idea, but I feel that if we choose to spend our hard earned money on something, it should jive with our artistic sensibilities. Nobody buys curtains they hate—why buy other things whose appearance we loathe? This approach, however, quickly can become impractical.

Enter the coolest desktop lamp you’ll ever see. These things are handmade by what seems to be an art-house type place; the price isn’t even listed. Regardless of what I can only imagine is a prohibitively expensive price, this is a man’s lamp if ever I’ve seen one (and I simply refer to the angular, steampunk, nature of the styling). The artist, Frank Buchwald, has produced some amazing pieces, be sure to check out “The Series” to view them all.

Man, those lights are awesome! What’s the going rate for one of those?

I’m pretty curious, too. I sent them an email to get the price list.

They emailed me back! Lamps start in the $4000 range and on up to the $12000’s. That flagship model is the most expensive — guess how much it weighs… almost 38 pounds.

Neat details:
“I wish to emphasize that my objects are not made of industrially pre-fabricated parts. Each component will first be made by hand after receiving an order. Lamps are therefore only created when you order them. If you would like to keep track of the manufacturing process, we can regularly inform you with photos by email about the state of production.”
