About me

Introduction The rag and bone man is the maker and purveyor of bespoke unconventional metal furnishings. Transforming junk collected around the East End of London on a vintage trade bike and recycling it into new and industrial lighting designs. His work is inspired largely by Art deco and the machine age. Each light is unique, fabricated using a wide variety of skills including welding, brazing, polishing, lacquering and various patinas. His philosophy is to keep working with the parts he has or source what is needed allowing the materials to dictate the development of new assemblages.
