5 out of 5 starsThis work of art was perfect for my bar cart. It has a wonderful glow that draws me in. I can't wait to see what else Joe makes that I can add to my home!

5 out of 5 starsExcellent service and communication from the seller. He spent several hours carefully packing the boxes, and after assembling the Atlas floor lamp I was blown away with the result. I highly recommend his products, they are very well thought out and constructed. They have turned my boring living room into a very cool industrial looking lounge.

5 out of 5 starsNot only is the artwork awesome, but the functionality is top notch. Joe is a talented artist and provided outstanding service and communication. He spent several extra hours carefully packing and finding the most economical method to ship the lamp to Canada, which really helped me out. I highly recommend his products!

5 out of 5 starsI really cannot adequately describe how, after being a adult for a decent amount of time, I felt after un-boxing something that made me feel like a 10 year old at Christmas opening that one Star Wars toy I always wanted. This lamp made me feel like a kid again.
This artist, and make no mistake about it this man is an artist, has wonderful vision(s); and makes them a reality. I love this lamp. I love the fact it is one of kind (at least for now?). I love the fact I supported an artist and businessman. I cannot wait to see what he does in the future and I will be purchasing from him again.
My only regret is finding him so late; I want several pieces he has already sold.
Outstanding. -

About FutilityStudios
Daddy needs parts
Back in 2012 I was struggling to come up with a Christmas present idea for my lovely wife. At the same time I kept tripping over a pile of spare car parts in my garage. Light bulb! I built a lamp for her out of a vintage carburetor. She loved it. Her friends loved it. My friends loved it. An idea was hatched.
I built several more pieces and put them in a fundraiser for a race I was organizing, and every piece sold. I realized I was onto something, so I created some more pieces, and here we are.
Each piece is completely unique, although sometimes I use similar themes. All of my pieces are functional in some way, but bring elements of industrial machinery into the home without having some junky, greasy parts laying around cluttering up the family room. I think that everyone can appreciate these pieces whether they're "car guys", or engineers or not.
If you would like something specific, or own an item that you would like incorporated into a piece, just contact me and we'll work something out.
