Jahan Khalili's X-Ray Lamps by Evan Orensten
Jahan Khalili is a Texas-based cancer researcher who enjoys making things with scientific objects he salvages, and old x-rays are a favorite. Quickly becoming obsolete as digital x-rays replace them, x-ray films provide an increasingly exotic material to work with.
Jahan's x-ray lamps offer a glimpse into an intimate yet abstract world. Have any of your own x-rays laying around the house? Send them to Jahan and see what he can make for you.
Available from Realm Dékor and on Jahan's Etsy page.
