Suddenly, a one-time inspiration led to the creation of a stylish lamp...
made out of two VURM bottle racks back-to-back, to exploit their intriguing shape, together with a LERSTA lamp as support.

Signing UpStep 1General concept
The overall assembly incorporates the two bottle racks placed back-to-back with their pre-drilled hole aligned.
The two of them are fixed on the tubular column of the LERSTA lamp. This is achieved by using some pre-drilled plates found at any hardware store, combined with two pipe fittings used to mount pipes on to walls (details in photos).
The upper part of the LERSTA lamp (conical hat) will not be used, except for the small circular reflector which is normally inserted inside the conical cap.
The lamp head will be facing the interior of the space enclosed by the two VURM bottle racks. The reflector will be used to keep the light emitted from the bulb inside the lamp.
A flexible semi-tranlucent plastic sheet (Poly-EThylene) will suffice as a shade inside the VURM bottle racks following their cylindrical curvature.

Isn't EVERYTHING from IKEA made from IKEAS parts? Looks nice :-). I bet spraying the lenses with transparent paint would ba a great way to customize it to a specific room. And the circle pattern on the wall is SWEET. Great Job !!!
