Contemporary Studio Craft Walnut and Neon Touch “BuraBura – Art” Lamp
$2,400.00Contemporary capacitive touch sensor lamp by neon artist / lamp designer, Ryan Mulkey. From the “BuraBura” series, referencing a possessed lantern from Japanese Yokai folklore. Each lamp from the series is composed of a molded neon light source supported by a solid walnut ‘orb’ base. Only the finest materials are employed to create this small, but impressive conversational piece.
The longest of the BuraBura lamps showcasing a deeply sculpted, elongated neon tube, this example is named “Art” after paranormal “Coast to Coast” talkshow host, Art Bell.
Functionally, the lamp turns on and off with a light touch and fades 4 levels with a prolonged touch. Includes a 12v transformer with a braided fabric cord and a plug that resembles a miniature instrument cable connector.
The glass (blown in Italy) is fairly fragile, and the lamp should only be handled by lifting / adjusting the base alone. In addition, this is a neon tube using high voltage with emits an electric field. It is advisable to keep hard drives, small electronics, etc., at minimum 5″ away from the tube.
Measures: L 16″ x H 7.75″ x D 4.5″.

Pair of Vintage Studio Craft Windsor-Style Three Legged Low Stools in Cherrywood
$1,800.00Pair of cherry wood studio craft low stools executed in a Windsor-Style (ca. 1970s, USA). Designed by a woodworker out of Syracuse, New York “WHP” about whom little is known.
Composed of three bamboo-style legs fitted with ‘t form’ stretchers and seats whose surfaces slope down at the front conforming to the body’s curves, while still aiding in good posture by tilting the pelvis forward, allowing the spine to sit properly aligned.
Using typical modern Windsor Chair joinery, the tops of the legs are tapered and fit onto similarly tapered holes cut into the seat using no screws or nails in the construction.
One nick to one of the stools along with one scuff (both subtle but shown in the last two images). Overall, very fine condition.

Stool One – H: 22.63″ x L: 16.25″ (leg to leg) x D: 18.75″ (leg to leg) x Seat Height: 20.5″ (front edge)
Stool Two – H: 22.75″ x L: 16″ (leg to leg) x D: 22″ (leg to leg) x Seat Height: 21.5″ (front edge)
Seat specs are the same for both:
Seat Length: 15″
Seat Depth 12″.
