Tank Pendant by Castor

In a righteous repurposing of the seemingly un-repurposeful, the Castor Tank Pendant is fabulously fashioned from recycled fire extinguishers. But one has to have a bit of an adventurous streak to purchase. While tank color and diameter are selectable options, other aspects - specifically tank height and material - are not. Tanks are composed of either aluminum or steel, and range anywhere from 5" to 10" in height. Tank is also available in several metallic plated finish options. Rock 'n' roll lumberjacks. That pretty much sums up the punk rock-loving, Toronto-based design team of Castor Design. Experiments in upcycling have resulted in an eclectic array of contemporary lighting and accessories. Castor Design pieces are smart, industrial and elegant--and definitely tongue-in-cheek. Salvaged materials are given a new, bright life, such as old burnt-out light bulbs being turned into a shade for another fixture.
