Slim copper tubing gives the appearance of old electrical cord tied in knots to create these crude yet elegant light fixtures. Garry Cohn uses wooden cranks, gears and glass-beaded ornamentation reminiscent of this time gone by. The light fixtures can house incandescent, fluorescent, halogen and LED lights.
