One-of-a-kind studio-crafted floor lamp built from repurposed golf clubs, this piece blends functional lighting with bold sculptural art.
Actual golf clubs—identifiable by their brand and sizing—have been cut, shaped, and welded into a long neck and wedge-like base in the form of a classic golf club. At its foot nestles a large 5-inch diameter golf ball, cradled among the irons, integrating whimsy and meaning into the structure. The entire lamp is metal, and the weight and feel are substantial.
The surface carries a clean white enamel finish that brings a contemporary Pop-Art sensibility to the form. The repaint is recent and mostly even; up close there may be minor mishaps or texture irregularities in the enamel, but nothing that detracts from its visual impact. The lamp is in working order; it emits a bright, directional light pleasing in both ambient and accent settings. Shade is not included, so the form remains clean and undistracted by extras.
This lamp is perfect as a centerpiece in a living room, studio, or gallery-like space where it can be appreciated from multiple angles. The strong silhouette, melding sporting equipment with art and lighting, makes it a conversation starter. It pairs beautifully with minimalist decor, warm woods, polished metals, or dramatic accent walls.
For collectors and design lovers who prize originality, sculptural lighting, or whimsical Pop-Art hybrids, this floor lamp is rare and memorable. It’s more than illumination—it’s functional art with personality and presence.
