At a quick glance, I though it was a Jim Woodring product. Those would be a great addition to any home!

“Lamp and another reality”?! Have you seen that story from reddit about the guy who had an accident here and then spent 10 years living an entire life in an alternate reality, only to be drawn back into this one by the weird and unsettling visions he had about a strange red lamp? I can’t find it right now, but very odd story.

Hey, wasn’t there just a post about Italian horror? This looks like a set piece from Suspiria. I am in love with it. When I get a black-walled room covered in gold calligraphy and occult symbols, I will put this right next to my neon peacock.

The symbols give it an esoteric feeling that really stimulate my imagination. I can’t stop trying to invent a context for lamp like this. It has an “otherworldly plausibility” to it, as though it were an artefact from another reality.

No hassle for the tassels then! They did look convincing to me — on this flat screen and from about 3000 miles away.

[I also like your steampunk clocks and lamps very much!]

The candles are electric. I’m happy to know that the effect looked convincing :)

A “tassel hassle”?

It’s probably a huge hassle to keep the wax from dripping into the tassels.

Not so crazy about the piece featured here, but this one is pretty nice.

That is most excellent. I just looked through an number of his other works. Everything is stunning, but this is my favorite.
