Robin Floor Lamp

'Robin' floor lamp is made using a vintage bird cage stand in chromed aluminium, plus a plastic shade in bright red from the late 70s.

I have perforated the rotating arm to fit the black cord, and used matching switch, plug and light bulb socket.

The result is an elegant, yet funky floor lamp with a strong retro look that serves equally well as a decorative light and a floor lamp that's good for reading. 

Measures: shade 28cm high, 30cm diameter, total height of the lamp 158cm

Some pictures taken during the making process: The main parts used to build the lamp; polishing the birdcage stand

Drilling the holes in the pole, plus sanding the edges; fitting the cord inside the pole

Wiring the lamp and, finally, adding a felter cover to the bottom of the foot for floor protection
