At MotoRevolution, our mission is to create exceptional lighting fixtures that not only illuminate spaces but also tell a story. We believe in the power of design and sustainability, which is why we specialize in repurposing old car and motorcycle parts. Our team of skilled artisans meticulously transforms discarded automotive components into functional works of art that will captivate and inspire.

Where did it all start?

MotoRevolution started in about 2017, although it's difficult to actually determine that, as it grew out of a hobby.

I have been woodturning for a good number of years, although I don't profess to be as accomplished as many of the great turners that you may see at craft fairs, and struggled to achieve those high standards.

Being an engineer, I have always been interested in mechanical parts, and have accumulated a hoard of bits and pieces over the years - most are from old motorbikes that I have owned and raced over the years. Being a typical man - I am reluctant to throw things away - that might be useful one day!!!

So one day, whilst clearing out my garage prior to a house move, I came across some boxes of parts, started to look through them, and nostalgia took over! I thought  - 'I can't throw these away', but it seems stupid to just chuck them back in the box again. So I started to look at the items, and a thought came to me about maybe incorporating these parts into some kind of functional item - upcycling and repurposing were becoming the latest trend - so it became a logical step to explore. 

Initially, I was looking at trying to create objects - mainly lamps - from recycled metal parts, but then the idea came to me that I should also incorporate turned wood and that really was the inspiration for the items that I produce now.
