Meet Bjorn Freed, a wholesale agent by day who becomes an engineer by night. Recently he invented an awesome lamp from an old rotary phone. After turning it on with the hang up button, you can adjust the intensity of the light using the rotary dial.
“Actually it was pretty simple,” Bjorn told Bored Panda “I spent maybe 2 to 3 hours in total”. When asked about how he acquired the required engineering knowledge for the project, Bjorn replied: “I am pretty much self-taught, learning by doing.”
“Many of my moms electrical appliances have been torn apart in the younger years and not all of them survived, I’m afraid”. Kudos to a mother who embraced her child’s creativity!

A great name for this new phone, er - uhm, lamp - The phone-y. Not only art, but functional art as well. I LOVE IT
I'm trying to build one myself, and have some questions. Can I ask them of you ?
It is amazing!!Please tell us how have u made it!!!We will love to know that!!
Cool, but I would like it more if the lamp was powered by rotating the dial ;)
Nice concept and execution with the dimmer, but you still end up with a really ugly lamp because it's an ugly phone to begin with. Should have used a phone with some character.
but that makes it ordinary yet extraordinary! ^^
