Upcycled Tin Can Lights

The 'Edward Coffee Can' Spotlight Reuses Vintage Coffee Cans

— June 4, 2013 — Art & Design
For those who love upcycled designs, the Edwards Coffee Can spotlight is the ideal clever floor lamp.

Made from a vintage iconic brown and red Edwards Coffee Can, this spotlight lamp is creatively retro. Each can used was individually thrifted by the creator Spacebarn, which means that each Edwards Coffee Can spotlight lamp is a one-of-a-kind creation and only a few exist.

The eleventh lamp in Spacebarn's lamp series, the Edwards Coffee Can spotlight lamp sits on an elegant custom-made photography-inspired tripod. Because the spotlight lamp's base is a tripod, the user can adjust the height of their lamp to fit their decor. This lamp is perfect for adjusting the light in work stations, beds and living rooms. All of the lamp's parts from the cables, coffee can and tripod are all 100% recycled.
