Jena
Some pieces belong on a wall the way they once belonged on a pipe run, fixed, purposeful, and entirely at home in the architecture around them.
At its core sits a genuine cast iron pump body, its original green enamel worn into a rich, mottled patina of jade and oxidised iron, its maker's name still boldly cast into the housing exactly as it left the foundry. This is the same pump lineage as the collection's table lamp — here, however, the piece does not stand. It mounts directly to a wall of reclaimed timber planking, bolted through its original flange points, exactly as a working pump would have been fixed to a wall in an engine room or plant facility.
From the pump's outlet port, a short salvaged pipe elbow reaches outward and downward, delivering a single wire cage and warm filament bulb that hangs below the body like a lantern from a bracket, functional, direct, and entirely without pretense. Above the pump, a salvaged red valve handle sits at the crown, its vivid colour a deliberate accent against the deep green below and the warm timber grain behind, the same red that punctuates pieces throughout this collection.
The result is a wall sconce that reads not as a lamp attached to a wall, but as a pump that happens to give light — an object that has simply changed what it dispenses, from water to warmth.
As with every piece in this collection, the Dragon Pump body is singular. This sconce exists in one wall-mounted form only, and will never be repeated.
