Bookish Lamp Designs

These Sculptural Book Lamps Come From Etsy BomDesignNL

— March 25, 2014 — Art & Design
Bookworms will appreciate these sculptural book lamps from Etsy shop BomDesignNL. These fanned out lamps were designed by creative duo Michael Bom and Antoinet Deurloo. Some of these lamps have brightly colored pages, which makes them all the more eye-catching once illuminated.

These lamps were created using old discarded books, turning them into artsy pieces of home décor. There’s something almost poetic about turning unwanted books into lamps for literature lovers to read by.

Some of these books have been cut up into more intriguing shapes and pieced back together, some are laid out like open books, and others have been made to look like Chinese lanterns.

These handmade book lamps are pretty expensive, but they’d make for great accent pieces in any room. These sculptural fixtures are perfect for avid readers.
