Godwin Vintage

Hello, we are Adam and Johnny (and our four legged friend Benji), and we enjoy creating and upcycling vintage & retro items into beautiful stylish vintage lighting from our home in Scotland. Vintage is a timeless beauty. There's just something about old vintage items from days gone - from the sophisticated elegant angles of a Bakelite telephone, to the leather clad vintage box cameras . Everything appears to have been a much higher quality compared to mass produced products of today. When these aesthetically beautiful and high quality vintage items are no longer fit for use, often they will simply get thrown out, or end up sitting in a dusty old attic never to be seen for decades. We take old worn out vintage items and give them a new purpose. Design & Inspiration. Our projects are inspired by our love of all things vintage & retro -usually with an added modern twist. We draw inspiration from many design and genres throughout history including Steampunk, Art Deco, Retrofuturism, Pop Art, and many more. Our process. We'll first come up with a design and sketch this down into a sketchbook (often several designs and then choose the best). Then with a lot of elbow grease and polish we'll set to work at removing decades of dirt and grime to try and bring the item back to it's former glory while keeping a lot of the vintage wear and patina which add to the character. Once cleaned , referring back to our sketch book we'll start working on the design - adding the electrical wiring, drivers, light fittings, and and decoration elements. Many hours of work go into creating our work sometimes weeks and months. But once finished we can proudly display it, plug it in and stand back and admire the finished product before taking photos ready to be showcased on our website.
