Retro Science Fiction Lamps

The 'Alien Torchere' Lamp Looks Something Like a UFO

— February 9, 2018 — Tech
The 'Alien Torchere' lamp has been designed to offer a way to incorporate a bit of intergalactic flair into your home without having to opt for blatant science fiction memorabilia. Boasting a design that sits well above the floor, the lamp shines light downward to cascade it onto the floor and out the sides to create a somewhat spacey aesthetic that is inherently modern. This makes it ideal for living spaces that need a bit of additional charm to make them appear more hip and unorthodox.

The 'Alien Torchere' lamp is the conceptual design work of Dmitry Grigoriev and Alexey Zudin, and has an organic, raw wood aesthetic that has been polished to make it suitable for any living space.
