I designed/produced this lamp.

Perhaps could have more than one interpretation.
Still writing/thinking how to tell you.

Any opinions?

Is it called
"Damaged in Transit" ?
i can see this working. Maybe the wrinkles have to be somehow. . ."designed" ?
Opinions, anyone ? How would you make this work ?

Kick the Bucket
An old childs game...
or "Kick the can"?
You've given up coming up with ideas, thrown away your sketches...reached into the wastebasket and a light came on.

I like
the asymmetrical graphic presentation. . .
You don't suppose our collective leg is being pulled, do you ?

I kinda like
I kinda like the idea of "kick the can" or "kick the bucket" although they have radically different meanings 🙂 If you go in that direction perhaps define the object a little more, either in can or bucket shape (the bucket handle could be a nice addition hanging down)
If you are keeping as is my only suggestion would be to push the preciousness of the metal - high high polish, to contrast the seeming 'trash' ness of it.

"in the manner of..." - yes,...
"in the manner of..." - yes, but then again a strong point in contrast to gehry/starck-perfectionism.

To carry Lucifersum example a little more, perhaps the on/off mechanism could be activated by twacking the lamp, much the same way a bucket or can is kicked.
Quite fun I think...however the novelty would wear off in time.

Put it in the garden and spend an hour pinking it with an air rifle to get some MCM style perforations. Maybe there's some mileage in 'design brut'.
