One day I asked myself -

What ever happened to sentimental value of our surroundings? My name is Adamski and I'm here to bring it back.

The truth is, we are no longer satisfied with meaningless repetition represented by trashy products available at our fingertips.

Some would say I pick up garbage. But those old treasures have their unique story written all over them.

I simply collect interesting objects that have a potential for recovery. Then, they receive a second life in the form of original lamps made in a small workshop at the back of my house.

Every lamp here has its own story - the one I would make up while woodworking... and real one.

All my lamps have a story. Those stories  are important to my customers but are just as important to me.

I don’t make lamps just for the sake of lighting up a corner of a dining room. Of course I want  them to be functional and have an attractive design but most of all I would like them  to evoke emotions.

Designing a lamp with limited resources is challenging but also so much fun. One might think I'm limited by what I can source but I don't see it this way.   I say source for a reason. I don’t go and buy wood from timber merchants. I do need to buy an occasional switch or a cable but that’s it. Everything else is either found or given to me. I’m the strange guy on the plane carrying a plank of ancient wood from Sicily to the UK :)

Just to give you an example. Classic Mustard was made from a bamboo laundry basket, old ply, gate post, steel wrench, chair springs…

I’m always on the lookout for exciting stuff and wood I could use. A lot of the time I just happen to stumble upon it but it always has some sort of a story.
