Recycled Transmission Bookends and Lamps
by Scott Sullivan

3-5-09automatik1.jpgThis isn't the first time we've seen art-from-car parts. These functional and recycled pieces come from Chicago artist Scott Sullivan and are available for purchase on Etsy.

 
 

Scott makes lamps and other housewares from recycled transmission parts. He also designs and builds hardwood furniture, sometimes incorporating gear elements into his designs.
