Fire extinguisher bespoke lamp

We were recently contacted by a customer and asked if we could create a special lighting feature for her husband who was an

ex-fireman. 

​

They were not sure what exactly they wanted the end product to look like, just that they would like it to have a fire extinguisher and a fire helmet. 

​

I have a few antique and vintage fire extinguishers in stock, I was able to give the customer various options to choose from, they chose a beautiful old copper extinguisher. 

​

I then sketched some initial ideas, the customer loved the what I was thinking and asked me to go ahead straight away! 

​

The initial plan was to build a wooden base, but during the make, I thought it would be a nice touch to have the wooden backboard floating on a copper frame, to add to the industrial steampunk effect of the piece.

​

The wooden backboard was torched to enhance the fire theme. 

​

The end result is a stunning statement piece lamp which stands over a metre tall - a real testament to the dediucationa nd hard work that our firefighters do.
