A Stylish Floor Lamp Made Of Old Fire Extinguishers





California-based designer Samuel Bernier has created a stylish floor lamp by imaginatively up-cycling old fire extinguishers.



Inspired by Italian designer Achille Castiglioni’s classic Arco lamp, Bernier named his clever new design as the “Achille le Grand”.



Made during an up-cycling workshop called “Lounge Share” in Paris,—where participants had to turn discarded junk into functioning lounge furniture—the Archille le Grand won first prize at the event.



The designer has put up a how-to guide for the lamp on DIY website Instructables, which you can download here and start constructing your own fire extinguisher lamp.
