Funky “Barbie” Lamp Made from Recycled Wood
If you’re looking for an artsy and earth-friendly lamp, check out the lighting section of the Wooden Ya Reckon site. That’s where I found this funky lamp, which is one of several interesting pieces by the artist.
“Isolated in the remote wilderness of Tasmania, a ramshackle shed is home to the artist Noel Doepel. Unfettered by the constraints of conventional wisdom in his studio, Noel is free to create objects of beauty and function, hewn from recycled materials gathered in and around his exurban utopian retreat.”
This particular lamp is called the “Barbie Light.” At first I thought that was in relation to, well, you know, Barbie dolls, but upon closer look, I think those are little thorns (or barbs) wrapping around the lamp shade. This might be one of those look-but-don’t-touch kind of lights.
