“This lamp is made with the tail fins of a 100-lb bomb from the Korean War. Paint and corrosion are removed to expose gleaming steel, interrupted by rough machinists marks from the factory.

Finished with a polished nickel socket, elegant cloth-wrapped cord, and a natural linen shade.” On sale here.
