Contemporary Studio Craft Walnut and Neon Touch “BuraBura – Art” Lamp
$2,400.00
Contemporary 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″.
