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 on communism and the Soviet regime, an air of sadness hangs about places like this. Once a place of aspiration and community this factory has literally been walked out of, fixtures and fittings left more or less intact, leaving just a legion of feral cats and the likes of ourselves to wander it’s eerie spaces. A derelict nuclear bunker stands as an uncomfortable reminder of our recent history, complete with gas masks in wooden crates and nuclear/biological suits on hangers. An incredible haul of 200 No. communist tube lights has just arrived with us, more different lighting will follow.
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.
It’s out today and it’s packed with Trainspotters lighting. We supplied a large range of pendant, bulkhead and fluorescent lighting for various scenes within the movie – early reviews are glowing so we’re off to see it this week
On our travels in the former Eastern Bloc we see some incredible industrial buildings in various states of disrepair. The legendary Jawa motorbike factory once employed a whole town but has now reduced to a work force of just 150
Another communist behemoth is laid to rest…
