Octopus Lamp. This Octopus Lamp steampunk sculpture combines the unusual shape of an octopus with the practical function of a working lamp. I brought together several old objects to create a creature that is both decorative and functional.
Design and Function
The crown of an old Russian samovar became the main part of the construction. I added a glass cover from an antique chandelier, a strip of 3 mm aluminium, a vintage light bulb and a braided vintage-style lamp cable. These unrelated objects came together to form an unusual octopus-inspired design.
I enjoy finding new possibilities in objects that have already served their original purpose. Here, they have been transformed into a characterful lamp that brings together mechanical imagination and everyday functionality.
This Octopus Lamp steampunk sculpture is not just an unusual decorative object – it also provides light, giving this imaginary sea creature a practical role in your interior.
Materials:
Main body – a crown from a Russian samovar.
