🍺✨ As seen on BBC One’s Money for Nothing! ✨🍺

I’m delighted to offer these two one-of-a-kind handcrafted bottle lamps, each created from reclaimed glass beer bottles and given a new lease of life. Every lamp is individually made, so no two are ever exactly the same.

With a flexible gooseneck, warm Edison-style bulb and a striking industrial look, they’re perfect for a desk, workshop, home bar, man cave or anywhere that deserves something a little different.

If you spotted my work on BBC One’s Money for Nothing, here’s your chance to own one of these unique pieces.

What a great day filming yesterday for BBC One’s Money for Nothing! 🎬✨

It was a pleasure working alongside the talented presenter Jacqui Joseph on a fantastic lighting feature.

A huge thank you to Richard and Sarah at Cut Light Designs for all their help, expertise, and support throughout the project. Their contribution was invaluable and helped bring the story to life.

Looking forward to seeing the finished piece on screen! 📺💡

Cutting the bottoms off old green glass bottles today for a BBC One Money for Nothing project 🔧♻️

There’s something seriously satisfying about giving discarded materials a second life. These bottles might have been headed for recycling—but with a bit of precision cutting and creativity, they’re on their way to becoming something completely new.

Sustainability meets craftsmanship. Watch this space to see what they turn into 👀
