This wooden replica of a reflex camera lens is actually a lamp by Monoculo Design Studio - what a fun idea! Handcrafted from alder wood with water-based varnish and beeswax finish, the lamp includes a ceiling frame with a stainless steel cable and a red wrapped power cord. The lens hood can even be reverse mounted or removed. This is such an awesome gift for any photography lover. You can get one on Etsy .

Vienna, Austria-based artist Gisela Stiegler began creatively as a trained painter but evolved into a sculptor. Her Lampenfieber series, made from expanded polystyrene waste material carved into functional works of art, includes lighting and wall shelves. Once sculpted and lacquered in one of a few colors you would never know they were made from upcycled salmon fish boxes
