Description This prototype lamp, named "Aldrin" in honour of Buzz Aldrin, is made of Rippled Sycamore wood and his helmet consists of a vintage filament lightbulb.Β 
This prototype used copper tubing to give the illusion of floating but I am in the process of creating a more durable version that can be shipped and expected to be on sale within the next couple of months.Β

For some reason there been a space theme running through my life of late; a friend pull out an old space race game to play one Saturday, a great BBC documentary on the space race was found on youtube, and now this. Β Very imaginative work. Β I am jealous. Β

How could there be shadows on the wall? There is no object between the light and the wall to cast a shadow.

I was just about to say the same thing! He is a source of light so he doesn't really cast a shadow. The armature leaves a little shadow though. Thanks for your message!

He's well on his way, but I'm not sure if the marketing techniques for hotcakes will quite work with him
