A hand-made lamp from a recycled bicycle, what do you think

[Martii]

Hello,

I would like to present you a hand-made lamp made of 100% recycled materials obtained from an old bicycle.
the lamp was made by my brother in his workshop
The presented lamp is height-adjustable by turning the bicycle pedals. It is activated by a bicycle bell mounted at the base of the lamp.
What do you think about recycling old unwanted stuff? Do you like this idea?

Superb. But what is the lampshade made of?

Thank you for the kind words, the lampshade is a cut-out element of the bicycle frame. The lampshade is entirely made of the lamp of the same bike

edit: elements were welded together

Excellent. There is a tv program called Money for nothing which uses the same principle. Interesting what they come up with recycled materials that people throw away.

Hats off though.....I could not have even dreamed of doing that.....well done.

I like the bell. But I doubt if Jannie would bring me coffee if I rang it

And the money that people are willing to pay for it.

Thank you for all the kind words,
We are very pleased that you like my brother's work

@flake99please
the one in the picture has already been sold to bike lovers from Germany,
we have one more but it is a little different due to the different bike model used
