This one’s for my queer homies 🏳️‍🌈 Each entry is only five smackers and all proceeds benefit the One•n•Ten LGBTQ+ support organization. Since so many of my queer homies love spooky stuff and Halloween more than anyone else, I made this spooky edition mushroom lamp to raffle off in their honor 🕸️

I grew up with queer friends and family, and they showed me how important it is to be exactly who you want to be, despite fear and adversity. As a cis little white boy who faced very little adversity, I took that freedom of expression for granted most of my life, but I want to give back to the community that helped shape me because they face more fear and adversity than I could ever know.

This spooky edition mushroom lamp is made of solid brass with a dark pewter patina and custom spiderweb diffusers. As is the case for all my lamps, the unlacquered brass patina will change and evolve over time with use. Has a built in dimmer switch and an antique style black twisted fabric cord and plug.

You can enter the raffle at milesmcdermott.com/lgbtq and you have until October 31st to enter. A winner will be randomly chosen a few days after and the lamp will ship to the winner with no shipping charge, unless they are outside of the United States in which case shipping will incur a fee.

hi im raffling off this solid brass spike ball prototype lamp with all proceeds benefitting the black artists and designers guild

it’s only $5 per entry so what do you have to lose??

A living, breathing finish.

Brass is an incredible alloy. When left unlacquered, it evolves and reacts to our touch and the air we breathe, aging alongside us. I designed these brass mushroom lamps to act like living organisms, with an ever changing patinated finish and hand bent stalks, making each one an irreplicable 1-of-1 piece just like us.

You’re about to feel all warm and fuzzy cause I started making my solid brass mushroom lamps into table lamps. The raw patina will evolve over time as you interact with it, with patches of opalescent blue and purple reflections that make it just as moody during the day. Made to order, and since I patina them and bend the stems by hand, each one is unique.

Brought another space from my home world to New York for Apartment Therapy’s Small/Cool NYC 2023. Clad in brass chains and ebonized wood, this stoop is so grand that you not only want to peek through the keyhole, you want to saunter through it. You can darken this doorstep in person at Industry City ‘til the end of the month.

Designed some house numbers with hanging brass chains.

Made a bunch of these spike ball lamp prototypes. The long polymer chain is super lightweight so you can actually swing them around (but don’t do that)

Little promo I had made to announce my pop-up office. Was a real challenge to shoot this entire thing by myself with programmable sliders and timers ☠️

Some shots of my office pop-up in Sunnyslope. This space was such a challenge to put together and involved so many custom details and learning opportunities.

Imported these rare 1930s Otto Schulz for BOET nightstands from Sweden and restored them. The original wood inlay ‘intarsia’ knobs were missing, so I had some custom ones made that are a little more in brand. These things are built like tanks.

I was making a clear smoked whiskey sour a lot one year and decided to do a little photoshoot for it. Complete with polka dot bitters in the foam.

Very few would say a 1997 GE fridge is the star of their kitchen design. I made this abominable thing cool again with some custom designed wheatpasted wallpaper and solid brass hardware. Y’all, go wallpaper your fridge already.

This antique iron vanity chair from France has been remixed with a blend of provincial and industrial aesthetics. The fully custom chainlink upholstery was designed to fit perfectly along the refinished frame. The curule legs are contrasted by the rigid ebonized square iron frame with petite worn gilded copper finials.

Today I’m 30 which is kinda cool because I’m finally considered vintage
