Artist Transforms Discarded Music Instruments And Other Vintage Items Into Lamps (66 Pics)

Slava Korolev is an artist from New Jersey, US. Korolev operates an exclusive studio called Lightdents. He collects discarded musical instruments and other various vintage items that he later turns into very original-looking and attractive lamps, chandeliers, and even wine bottle holders. Of course, Slava’s most popular works are lamps, given how much thought and detail he puts into his one-of-a-kind artworks.

Bored Panda reached out to Slava.

“I am the only person behind Lightdents. The story behind it is very mundane: it was 2014—the year of the poor skiing season in the Northeast and I had plenty of time to kill. I remember looking at my humble collection of vintage horns and wall-hangers and decided to make a couple of lamps.

I felt at that time that they were begging for attention, being sad, broken, and purposelessly existing. So I made a couple of lamps and when I had a party with friends at my house, they loved it so much, I gave them these lamps as a present. Then friends of my friends saw those and asked me to make one for them—and so on... I ended up making quite a few and had to start selling them to make room for more.
