Repurposed German industrial lamps are on sale at this one-of-a-kind workshop, run by two brothers (hence, Blom & Blom). Each lamp has a description of where the fixture was found, the state it was in, its condition and its original purpose. They're costly, but glorious. It's best to call ahead as opening hours vary.
