Wow, I gotta say I'm really impressed with the shipping container home. I've never wanted to live in a container more than now, haha!
guigui371, that shipping container project looks epic and is likely a great deal for 80BTC.
Thanks for the information about the lamp and sharing the awesome photos.

Gha, i love this lamp but not for $500.
Maybe the questions digicoinuser asked could justify it.
Put it on a display stand in a high fashionable store and someone will pay $500.

Hey Klaaas,
Thanks for the message.
See above for cheaper solutions (which are not unique handmade items).
Funny enough, I met one of the major high end furniture dealer in NZ last week.
He told that there is a market for this kind of pieces.
And we are considering exposing in an Art/shop/boutique next month.
It is crazy to see how much people would spend on a coffee table made in China that doesnt show any sign of quality (more than 2000$ for almost the same quality as IKEA)... It gives us a good opportunity to do high end, handmade, top quality unique designed pieces.
Cheers
Pretty neat little item.
May I ask who the local craftsman/designer is and if their pieces usually command a premium based on their name?

Hi, Thanks for the nice words.
The local craftsman/designer is unknow ( if you google him, you won't find much yet, at best you can find his works as a photographer).
The price has been set based on time spent, material used, and available similar items.
Wooden commercial very basic design : 120 pounds (215 nz$ )

Wooden limited number (99), same kind of design = 149 euros ( 227 nz $)

We are working on a current bigger project and then we will focus on small furniture afterwards.
It is a self contained living unit inside a 20ft shipping container.
We built one last year and it sold for 80 000$ within a Week, all the potential buyers were amazed by the quality of the works.
See picture of the one sold :

We are working on a website to advertise other types of furniture (table / chairs).
But those would be limited to local market (table are solid 1 piece, would be very expensive to ship).
Should you have question, you can comment or PM me.
I'll update the original post with the info i am being asked in comments / PM.

Hi,
for sale a Lamp I had made by a local craftsman/designer in New Zealand .
It is unique because to this date only 2 have been made and signed by the craftsman / designer.
Also, the steel used (flat bars) has some black paint that is partially sanded of, creating a unique pattern.
Final product has been varnished to prevent corrosion.
Come with a NZ / AUS plug but can get it fitted with any plug (UK/euro/US/JPN) by a licensed sparky.
Price : $500 (NZ$) + shipping.
