[It's been a minute, but we're still around. More activity over on Instagram<\/a>, but this post is "blog worthy" due to its length and links. This is a project that has been in the "need to finish" queue for a while and I had to do a repair on our own lamp this weekend, so I finished this off.]<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the more unusual things in our house<\/a> is this awesome sculpture\/lamp\/shade called the "Ventana<\/a>" by Pablo Pardo<\/a>. The design is about 20 years old<\/a> and it's long out of production \u2014 it was featured at ICFF in 2002<\/a>. This larger size retailed originally for about $1200 + tax \u2014 crazy, right?<\/p>\n

We were able to pick one up for ourselves years ago (we even had it in West Oakland<\/a>) and we love it. Many year later, we came across a pair of lamps for sale and we snatched them up. They were incomplete, but I figured I could remake them into something close to the originals… and this is the result:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2907\"[The Ventana lamp is both a shade and a light (and a sculpture) \u2014 it's amazing.]<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This one is on a non-articulating walnut mount that extends the lamp about 8in off of the wall. Because of the massive torque on the parts\/pieces, it's best suited for a place where it won't get bumped and it must be mounted into a stud or a post (as we've done here). Properly mounted, it's solid as a rock, but I have a 10 year old in the house that likes to break things, so everything comes with a warning-label these days.<\/p>\n

The lamp \u2014 like a shade \u2014 pulls up and down… I think the maximum extension is about 8ft. This version has been converted to modern LED lamps (from the original halogens that ran very hot) \u2014 so it runs much cooler and much more efficiently. The lamps are standard 12V MR16, so you could even install "smart" bulbs that could be controlled via app or home assistant ("Alexa \u2014 dim shade lamp to 60%"). The lamp is even more safely powered by a supplied 12V\/5A power adapter (from the original 120V line voltage) and turns on\/off with a foot switch as the original did.<\/p>\n

It's a very unique thing that you'll likely not see again, so snap it up while you can.<\/p>\n
