Recent reviews of Lamp-making Workshop

  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Aug 2026: The Lamp-making workshop was very enjoyable. Sara; the company owner and the instructor; is very friendly and during the process of creating the lamp, provided a very nice explanation of the electrical circuit that allows the light to light. After introductions and Sara providing a background of her electrical experience and an overview of what we were going to do, Sara brought out a wide assortment of pots, cups, planters and other items for us to select from to create our lamp. After selecting we then proceeded to assemble the lamp, wire that lamp and lastly select a fabric for the lampshade and then cut and add the shade. Anyone interested in creating a lamp from miscellaneous objects, find NUSPRODUKT and schedule a workshop.

I created my first lamp while studying architecture, using the model-making materials I had at hand. What began as a solution to fix the bad overhead light in my room quickly grew into a passion, each lamp becoming more complex and more experimental. Over the past 15 years, this practice has evolved into Nusprodukt, an independent lighting studio in Brooklyn.
The word Nusprodukt means “by-product” in Serbian, a nod to the unexpected and overlooked materials that inspire my work. I transform everyday objects like plant pots, vases, bowls, plates, candleholders, toys, wood scraps, into one-of-a-kind lamps. Every lamp challenges how we see the ordinary, making it extraordinary through a mix of humor and purpose.
I graduated from Parsons School of Design in 2021, supported by the President’s Scholarship Award. In 2024, my work received a New York State Council for the Arts (NYSCA) grant. Nusprodukt lamps have been featured in Architectural Digest, Vogue Adria, and The Globe and Mail.
