Rodos is a heater fan built in the 1950s.

 

1950s design featured clean, rounded shapes with a futuristic aerodynamic look. 

 

This was the ideal starting material for my retrofuturistic assemblage objects. I added some eye candy with an RGB LED strip that can be controlled by remote control.

I added two crane-like extensions with rollers to which Edison light bulbs are attached. The old lamp sockets are made of brass and porcelain.

  

Materials:

  • Rodos heater fan, 1950s
  • Edison incandescent light bulbs
  • Porcelain sockets
  • Brass rollers and mountings
  • Dimmer
  • LED stripe with remote control
  • Textile power cord, power switch, Bakelite power plug
