The Workman Mailbox Pendant Light from John Beck Steel is a playful yet subtle design inverting and streamlining the enduring silhouette of the often-steel crafted mailbox door. Designer and blacksmith John Beck lives and breathes steel, it's a connection that comes to fruition with pieces like the Workman, showing the character and history of the material. A finely cut metal body sharpens at the top and drapes down with a seamless curve. Its inner silhouette matches the contours of a g40 bulb, showing off the clear connection between shape, light, and form. When turned on, the piece produces a warm glow that glazes across both sides of the steel sheet.
John Beck Steel was founded in early 2004 as a simple, down-to-earth brand that avoids the excess ornamentation and mass production often associated with contemporary lighting. Instead, they champion a one-piece-at-a-time process, making each and every product by hand. The majority of their products use steel as a primary material, showcasing its unique aesthetic and feel in a variety of visually compelling structures.
