Vintage Industrial Wire Bulb Cage
Currently available are these fabulous lamps, created from a variety of materials including a set of upcycled colourful colanders.
Repurposed White Colander Pendant
“Sweet & whimsical, with just a dash of elegance, our handcrafted repurposed enamel kitchen colander pendant lights are the perfect finish for over your breakfast bar or to brighten up a dull pantry!”
