The I-Lamp began as a piece of scrap metal. Originally found on an Austin, Texas construction site, it was repurposed into a sleek and personal lighting source. It is simultaneously a lamp, a sculpture and an objets d'art. This particular piece began as a 40' I-Beam used to support the weight of a building. This I-Lamp mimics a mid-century modern aesthetic with lines that evoke images of science fiction and the atomic age. The materials are simple, readily available, inexpensive and when repurposed, they create a beautiful light from materials once destined for the scrap heap.

I served my country for over 20 years and now in my post-Air Force life I want to explore my creative side a bit more. Living in Austin has provided an opportunity for to become a real estate developer. Having designed and built two LEED Platinum homes, I found a passion for building responsibly and with the environment one of my primary concerns. It is in this that I began to see the potential for re-purposing construction materials into something like the i-Lamp.

I enjoy trying to figure out why something was designed the way that it was. This is especially true in architecture and construction. I like to break things down to their elemental pieces and see how each piece fits in with the rest, what it's purpose is and how it adds to the final product. I especially enjoy finding a remnant or a discarded piece of a larger product and repurpose that piece into something it was not originally intended for. My goal was to take waste destined for the scrap yard and turn it into a lamp with both beauty and function.
