Pop Art-L’Art Moderne

Pop Art-L’Art Moderne is the tiny workshop-cum-outlet for metalworking brothers Mohammed and Mohssin. The brothers fashion both traditional and contemporary lamp shades from various metal sources, including old olive oil tins and other canned goods. The shades are fashioned with designs from hundreds of tiny holes punched into the metal, casting fantastic shadows on the nearest wall. Both shops are open daily from roughly 9am to 6pm, usually with a break for lunch between noon and 2pm.
