Machine Lamps - Frank Buchwald's Maschinenleuchten (GALLERY)

These machine lamps were designed by artists Frank Buchwald.  Each lamp is carefully constructed with burnished steel, brushed brass, textile cables, and
blown glass.  Frank describes, “For me, the idea of the machine lights developed over many years of dealing with the nature of modern technology, especially the mechanical artifacts of the industrial age. It is associated for me with the realization that an independent reality which withdraws itself from human access, exists behind the manifest appearances of mechanical objects and secretly determines the world of the machines.”
