Now this is a DIY hack that I can't actually claim responsibility for. Well, I came up with the idea, Tom just got round to implementing it first!
We've got a bit of a copper accent theme going on in our living room - just a hint here and there, nothing too serious - and we wanted to finish it off by replacing the old brass light fitting with something a bit more contemporary and fitting with the copper theme. I saw a tutorial months and months ago for a geometric icosahedron light fitting made out of copper pipe and I absolutely loved it.
We went for something a little more simple than an icosahedron. I'm not sure if it has a name, but essentially it's a square bipyramid, slightly longer on the bottom than the top. We bought a funky, vintage-looking bulb and cord fitting from our favourite interiors shop, Liv's, and used copper pipe to create the geometric shape...
That's one cool light Han. Great idea and congrats to Tom he's made a cracking job of it
