Julia Black: I’d like you to intro you to my good friend Dean, the guy behind Lampcage. I know him as a great lighting designer with the an admirable ability to find broken and battered materials - often scored from junkyards or a smart bit of curbside pickup - and revive them into stunningly classic sconces, pendants and lamps for both indoors and out. That scrap metal he finds is dragged back to his studio (it's in the back of his showroom- totally worth a peek inside), where he begins welding, working, and reconfiguring it into v. special pieces. Wander around his store, and you'll spot lighting (for sure, lol) plus a phenomenal collection of accessories and architectural ornaments that he's salvaged in his travels. And remember, a quick word and Dean is happy to work with you on any custom piece you care to dream up, plus he has the snappy ability to re-wire and re-work any old lighting you'd like to bring him. I guess I'm giving away a bit of an inside secret here, but Dean is one of the best lighting and design trades I've come to know over the years, and he's a firm fave of mine!
