KickTraq

If anyone’s heard of Kickstarter, then you know how amazing the whole concept is. It provides funding for artists to create anything from documentaries, to postcards, lamps, etc. More so, it helps artists build a community around their work. Dale Rorabaugh is one of many artists on Kickstarter, whose newest invention is the Franken Edison Light, which interprets Thomas Edison’s light bulbs, with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. (Read More)

While simultaneously steampunk and retro, the Franken Edison Light is an imaginative take on Edison’s light bulb and Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein novel. On each end of the balanced, scale-like structure is an eight-inch, mouth-blown sphere that serves to encase the Edison light bulbs. (Read More)

Dale Rorabaugh strikes again with his keen sense of visual aesthetics in the form of the Franken Edison Light, a design inspired by Frankenstein and science! (Read More)

This is a classic piece of electrical equipment that you might have seen in one of those old black and white Frankenstein horror movies where electricity is the main feature of the scientists lab, now it’s your turn to have one of these in your home or office, now that really would be a classic centrepiece and something to get the conversations going. This is a spectacular centre piece to any room and it is not just, because it looks great, it is mainly because the Franken Edison Light literally has a life of its own, moving around, up and down. So be careful where this light is placed because it could knock your coffee right out of your hand or anything else that gets in its way. (Read More)
