Description
A pair of block shaped industrial table lamps made out of old printing block letters, the patination of each block of differing hues. A great way to recycle no longer used items, perhaps a dinner party game of trying to create words. Interesting, quirky, with vibrant coloured shades to match definitely a room statement.
Printing blocks and the lettering date back as far as the 15th Century. The Typography on these wooden blocks are fascinating and take you back in time when you had to set up the printing press manually. The results are a time capsule in themselves.
The colours and texture create a very unique piece of art in the form of a lamp. Texture, colour and fascinating decorative objects that sell a srory.
