Andy and Tony of Trainspotters unload a wagon full of salvaged industrial lights, hot from a Polish factory. Lights generally arrive into us in rough state, warts and all. They are then dismantled into component parts before undergoing the various stages of refurbishment, before emerging phoenix-like onto the website weeks, months or even years later. This latest haul is an exciting collection of metal and prismatic glass pendant and wall lights in a variety of styles, some of which we’ve not seen before. They will be gracing the website over the coming weeks…
Last week we visited this vast decaying chemical plant in Hungary. It’s currently being demolished from one end whilst we endeavour to spirit the wealth of industrial lighting it contains out of the other. Whatever your take
It’s 9am on a Thursday morning and a laden truck hot from the Czech republic awaits unloading. The Trainspotters workers start offloading and stacking the cargo of hundreds of salvaged industrial lights into ordered batches in the mill.
We’ve been fancying doing this for a while and have finally got our act together.We’ve found a great glass fronted shop unit in the old Truman Brewery in East London, and will be running a shop there for 10 days in May.
