This 20cm high electrical transformer box stood out in the discard pile at the local dump because of its retro name plate and its distressed and faded industrial paint finish.

Long past its use-by date as a transformer this item was fitted with a brass lamp fitting and a retro filament globe. Standing 40cm high to the top of the globe the overall industrial look of this ‘Anti-Shok’ table lamp is a delightful nod to the past but upcycled to give this vintage piece a legitimate place as a modern décor item.
