Introducing BuraBura Otto! Otto is a bit smaller than most Buras and loves a good flashy ride. This one is named after James Otto Hahs, the inventor of the coin operated kiddie ride. We enjoyed a great night out in Brooklyn Chinatown exploring the many light-up offspring to the classic mechanical horse. Otto is made from a single block of american walnut. I patiently cured this wood from a batch uncured or "green" wood. It also is made with the same warm neon tube that many of the BuraBura lamps feature and come with a braided cloth 12v power adapter. 

These are capacitive touch sensor lamps that that turn on and off with a light touch and fade 4 levels with a prolonged touch. Each lamp includes a 12v transformer with a braided fabric cord and a plug that resembles a miniature instrument cable connector. The glass is fairly fragile, so care should be taken to the placement in your environment  - probably not in an area where small children may have access. Also, when handling, always use the base and never lift using the glass. In addition, this is a neon tube using high voltage, and it gives off an electric field. I strongly suggest keeping hard drives, small electronics, etc., from being too close (5 inch radius) to the tube.
