Lou Reed Beer Can Lantern

This item is a totally unique, hand-carved beer can featuring a portrait of the Velvet Underground legend.  The effect works by placing a tealight candle inside (the base is cut out so the can fits over it) allowing the light to shine through the carving creating this amazing silhouette image which looks very cool in a darkened room… Makes a great one-off gift and a must have for any Lou Reed fan!                               

Welcome to Cult Cans, home of the Beer Can Lantern.

Each piece is a recycled beer can, hand-carved by the artist with a craft knife to create an amazing visual effect. The simple addition of a tealight candle turns each can into a unique portrait lantern featuring a striking silhouette image.

‘The most unusual gift you will give this year, creates a ‘wow’ moment, and a real talking point!’
