The photographic angle, perhaps, makes these look like a collection of irons with a small ironing board.
Please add four stars to the choices.
I'm glad you included the photo of you working on the lamps...they are much bigger than I thought from the first photos, which I LOVE!!!! Love the reflective surface, love the angles, just love in general. I guess people who don't appreciate these are probably buying a lot of ceramic chicken and teapot lamps...and they are welcome to them.
I like the picture of them suspended- nice design!
Too late to vote, but love the clever use of offcuts
