I like the raw industrial appearance and one piece would be a nice fit as an object d’art in an otherwise clean-lined setting — kind of like the “token bum”-look on American Idol, but in the average cluttered middle-class home or office it’d just look like a toddler’s homemade Valentine — recycled junk.

I love them! It’s a tasteful repurposing of something, not like some of the god-awful crap that’s passed for “reclaimed” lately!

Interesting aesthetic certainly not for my home, but its very nice to see parts re-appropriated, but the idea of the tap is certainly a very old one. The old gas lamps used to have this type of switch the let the gas burn, the idea of using this for electricity and dimming is similar to these.

I think these are great! SO much better than just another sleek plastic Philippe Starck piece of sh*t.
