The swivel goodness at the base of the iMac G4 had a near-human flexibility and was nicknamed the iLamp in a nod to Luxo Jr., star of  a short Pixar film.

Now, one of those aging bases from the early 2000s is living out its retirement as a lamp.

Creator Nicolas didn’t tell hardmac exactly how he did it, but did say it was easy:

“I decided to recycle my old iMac G4. With some spare parts, one can easily transform it into a nice lamp fully articulated thanks to the famous arm.”
