It's ugly and heavy.

Unfinished concrete doesn't belong in a home.

reddit would be proud

Anchor to leg, throw into lake.

I like the general idea.
Not my style though.

Would like it more if the concrete was rougher. The slickness of the sides is a bit too much since the steel is slick too.

Make sure its plugged in and turned on.

I think it looks cheap and unfinished. I would sand/grind the shit out of the concrete and give it a more interesting shape. Also the way the wire comes out of the thing looks bad as well. It should go all the way down and in a groove under the platform. And paint the damn thing, plain concrete looks ugly in my opinion.

>>1144549
I'm sure the spot it illuminates on the ceiling is very nice

how the fuck are you proud of this shit...

>>1144549
why the pipe? why the thick slab? this is not modern. not even near minimalist. it's so fucking heavy and at what cost? you've made a piece of shit. have you tried sketching out your ideas first? try again.

>post something on /diy/
>Get immediately shat on

Top kek every time. I think it looks alright though op. A rubber gromet where the cable comes out of the pipe wouldn't go amiss though.

To play double's advocate I have my desk lamp pointed up so it gives me a more diffuse, less intense illumination than if it was pointed at my desk.

Top tier taste. Diffused light is best light, so much more comfy.

I love the brutalist chic look. Pairs well with combloc concrete apartment block.

>>1146088
Those desk lamps usually have a white and shiney reflector. Concrete doesn't reflect light well.

You seem like the sort of person who would make a concrete lampshade

Not putting fiber optic threads in the concrete.

its a little too thick. probably should pressure wash the sides if its not all the way dry, try and get some texture to show, I would have at least added a dye to it or some different aggregate, but it looks pretty good if its the first one
