I love problem solving projects. This one was fun. The client wanted individual lights on specific parts of her sewing studio. As it turned out, she had done work with flex tubing and funnels it the early days of her art. After spending a fare amount of time engineering this idea, we decided to give it a go. The canopy is a re-purposed steel lamp base. She loves the color purple so that’s where we went with the paint on the flex tubing. The blocks on the ceiling are fabricated from Paperstone. It’s a “green” counter top material that can be cut, sanded, and polished. The flex tubes run through the blocks and either hang over, or point to, the areas where she needs the best light. The flex tubing that point toward the cabinets have a piece of soft aluminum tubing in them that runs back through the hanger blocks. This allows them to be bent and pointed (and hold that position) where she needs the best light. The light heads are standard aluminum funnels I found at a farm store. There is a steel black painted socket cover attached to a Paperstone doughnut at the end of the tubing that connects the light head. The funnels are removable for cleaning. After creating this for my client, my wife and I decided to installed a version of it in our kitchen at home.
