DIY Cement Desk Lamp

Modern Cement Desk Lamp // jojotastic.com

 

Guest post by Gwendolyn Mckenzie from Jojotastic.com

Confession: I’m in love with cloth-covered wires. Instead of an ugly plug or cord, they add a textural element with a little pop of color right where it’s least expected. It’s a great throwback to vintage style and nowadays these wires come in tons of different patterns and colors. I was totally inspired by an awesome red and white zigzag pattern from Color Cord and just had to make something with it.

Modern Cement Desk Lamp // jojotastic.comMy workspace really needed a new lamp and a serious boost of personality, but I didn’t want to make anything too busy or distracting. So I stuck with a minimalist profile and industrial materials to create a basic cement desk lamp with one big XL Silver Mirrored Globe Bulb on top for some drama.

Materials

  • cloth covered wire
  • mirrored globe bulb
  • keyed socket
  • plug end
  • round metal duct pipe
  • rockite cement
  • 3/4″ conduit pipe
  • 2-inch piece of straw
  • cardboard

Tools

  • scissors
  • hot glue gun
  • wire stripper
  • stir stick

 

Modern Cement Desk Lamp // jojotastic.comFor anyone who takes a look at all these materials and feels a little overwhelmed, don’t worry — for a project like this, just use what you have on hand. The great thing about creating a mold for the cement base of your lamp is that if can be made out of anything. I decided to use a sheet metal dryer vent to create a cylindrical shape and inlayed a strip of magnetic tape into the seam.

 

To see the full assembly of this project, head on over to Jojotastic.com!
