Creative director and multifaceted artist Lance Oscarson of Vintedge Artworks crafts amazing mythical beasts and mechanical men out of cardboard. The Utah-based artist's works are steampunk and dieselpunk creations that pop off their respective panels, seemingly lying somewhere between collage and sculpture.
Having worked with a number of mediums in several professions over the decades—from paper and metal to leather—Oscarson has embarked on a new venture that seeks to resurge specific subsets of the cyperpunk genre. His collection of cardboard art incorporates the basic thematic elements, including a mechanical presence of technology fused with a vintage aesthetic. The artist even adds a metallic appearance to his cleverly crafted sculptures, heightening their visual effect.
Inspired by an early 20th century light bulb voltage tester that was discovered in a factory in Germany, this hinged metallic replica opens up to reveal an impressive bar. Equipped with three shelves, three stemware racks, and five slots for wine bottles, the 265-pound iron ball is fully capable of storing all the best liquor, spirits, and barware.
The unique design also exudes an overwhelming sense of masculinity. Its antiqued finish adds to the refined manliness of the design that makes it look like it belongs to a James Bond villain or perhaps to 007 himself. There's even an elusive hatch on the sphere, allowing for easy access to alcohol.
The bar is currently being sold through Restoration Hardware for $1,995.
