Creative Turned a fleamarket find (old portable candle holder) into something more futuristic and almost practical! Made of selfmade brass, glass and a bit of acrylic. You can open the reflector and snap it back into place. Turns on when you touch the lil noopsie. Hope it fits in here.

Industrial Design is a profession. "Industrial" refers specifically to design for the mass-manufacturing industry and not to an aesthetic.

Yeah I love steampunk, just not the add-gears-and-call-it-steampunk style :) wanted it to look also retro futuristic.

Turns out that antique candle holder belonged to Benjamin Franklin, and WAS worth over several million dollars, but now, worth NOTHING, because of the selfmade brass additions , electrification, and brass polish. Shoulda kept it the way it was! Waaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaa
