Description
Do you need to decorate a place in which you can talk backward with a small man and his cousin? Are you a replicant but don't know it chasing down other replicants in the terrible future of 2019? Do you long for the days of World's Fairs? Well, this one objet d'art can satiate all three of those urges!
Originally manufactured for the NY World's Fair in 1939, the Saturn Lamp was mostly consigned to obscurity, until two major pieces of American Media in the 1980s used it. The Saturn Lamp first appeared atop Deckard's piano in Blade Runner and then only a handful of years later materialized in a room of chevron floors and velvet curtains in David Lynch's show Twin Peaks. There's even been some discussion about whether or not this was the SAME prop.
I bought my first 3D printer so as to print a crude approximation of this, and years on in my journey, i've finally gotten close to recreating it in its entirity.
Uses 2x6mm magnets, as well as the following item:

This cord/socket combo fits directly through the center of the lamp and is then clipped into place. The bulbs can be purchased in whatever color you'd like, but it comes with white.
