Retro floor lamp

This is cheap and easy. I bought this japanese paper lamp from IKEA for about RM19.90(USD5.50).
You can choose your type of cord or the voltage of the bulb.

Step 1 A piece of big brick

You choose a piece of big brick that is heavy, so that it will not fall when you shaft the copper or any bendable rod for the lamp.

Awesome instructable and a really nice idea.
I had to make a similar lamp for my home. I used copper tubes.
Thanks a lot for sharing !

Thanks for the instructable! I've always wanted one of these lamps but didn't want to pay a lot of money. I really like the plant vine going up the rod. Very creative. :)

Where did you find a curved rod?

I found it from an old refrigerator. You will normally find it from the back of the compressor, but I ripped it from a large refrigerator. So it is long enough for the bends.

I think you could use a piece of copper tubing. But be aware of grounding/earthing the copper for electric safety issues

Don't worry about as long you keep your cords all in sealed from all exposed connection it will be very safe. So far I have been using it everyday for almost a year. ;)
