About Me

My photo
the rag and bone man
The rag and bone man is the maker and purveyor of bespoke unconventional metal furnishings. Transforming junk collected around the East End of London on a vintage trade bike and recycling it into new and industrial lighting designs. His work is inspired largely by Art deco and the machine age. Each light is unique, fabricated using a wide variety of skills including welding, brazing, polishing, lacquering and various patinas. His philosophy is to keep working with the parts he has or source what is needed allowing the materials to dictate the development of new assemblages.

Many of the lamps feature vintage motor bike parts that are not damaged in the process of making the lamps [unless they were in a very bad way before] and are therefore restored and preserved for unborn generations to enjoy as future vintage lamps or returned to their original purpose if needed.


The rag and bone man knows that useless bits of junk are worth something to the right person, even useless parts have a place.
