Studio Job's Wrecking Ball and Crane Lamps

Designers from the London design studio, Studio Job, have created the Wrecking Ball and Crane Lamps for a upcoming exhibition at the Carpenter Workshop Gallery. The pieces were commissioned by the gallery and will be shown with Studio Job's new furniture line from their Industry Series. The lead designers and founders of Studio Job are Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel. The lamps are both miniatured versions of the iconic industrial inventions: the wrecking ball and the crane. They are both made out of bronze and wired to be used as fully functional lamps. I love the whimsy and humor that these pieces have. Their miniature size makes them somewhat childlike but the dark color and material and the lighting features make them more sophisticated.
