Record sleeve table and syringe chandelier
While BB Gadgets' Rob is fond of Bughouse's Album Side Table made from old LP jackets, I prefer the Hypolux Chandelier, constructed from plexiglass plates, commercial syringes, and a ballchain suspension.

latest episodes
Gluing the records together and sanding down the tops makes them as useful as a book with all the pages glued together. Music is for listening to and appreciating, not setting a can of coke on. If this is hip and fashionable, then the barbarians who sacked Rome were hip and fashionable too.
Syringe chandelier...would make a great prop for a creepy/sinister movie.
I agree with #1.
The Album Side Table is a travesty.
yeah

I think #1 is a Led Zep fan
I think I just discovered a new phobia. I will not be sitting underneath any syringe chandeliers.
Yeah, I really hope they took the needles out, otherwise it'd be like sitting under the chandelier of Damocles.
Bughouse did a very cool window installation at handmade galleries here in LA. i think the chandelier is there also.

@#7 They have the needles, but they're capped. I'd totally remove them though. If a chandelier falls on you, it's going to hurt either way.
Yeah, I wouldn't get too shrill about finding a use for all of the Peabo Bryson and Laura Nyro records down at Community Thrift.
The chandelier, though. As if my place wasn't kid-unfriendly enough as it is.
Syringes and needles generally come separately. It's hard to tell from the photos, but those could be the type that you use to inject/withdraw out of a tube rather than to give an injection directly into a patient.
then the barbarians who sacked Rome were hip and fashionable too.
They sure had some Gaul.
only a Vandal would laugh at that
Actually, from the photo it looks more like test tubes than syringes. Though that would be good too.
From the site:
"Album Side Table", faux-album surface, brushed chrome legs
While the bottom picture sure looks like real albums, the top picture looks like it may not be. We are assuming that the bottom picture is a close up.
its a bit Gothic...
ATTENTION:
Actually no albums were harmed in the making of the
Album Side Table. It is a faux-representational photograph
of albums. It is structured with birch plywood, wrapped
in giclee canvas and coated with poly resin.
LONG LIVE VINYL!

RE: SYRINGE CHANDELIER
The needles can be unscrewed completely or capped. We used to have it hanging over the frig, effective weight loss.

... Yes, it's syringes; much easier to see on the original website (larger image).
I work in a Clean Needle Program, and occasionally (quite large) bits of stock go out of date and have to get chucked.
I've made them into many a syringe sculpture, and since we've got 60ml, 30ml, 10ml, 5ml, 3ml & 1ml it seems like a perfect tubular construction system.
And with luer lock devices like wheel filters, tips and wings they're all interconnecting... like big illicit, tubular mechano. Awesome fun.
A wealthy junkie's pad, coke over rock & roll and a shooting gallery on the ceiling!
some pics there, J?
