Lamp Design: portable wooden lamps

The project

Lamp Design brings together our customisable wooden lamp creations. The campaign presents different versions of a portable piece with a rectangular base, an openwork body and a leather handle, combining laser work, adhesive bonding, hand assembly and integrated electronics.

The variants explore different approaches to openwork, from plant-inspired ornamental motifs to regular perforation patterns. They share a form reminiscent of a small lantern with a handle, while the panel pattern gives each piece a different character. The range offers different models and sizes, alongside the option to commission a personalised design.

Construction begins with laser cutting and engraving the parts. Layers of 10 mm MDF are glued together to form the base and upper arches, creating the lamp’s framework. Flexible Finnish birch completes the documented wood-based materials used in this creation.

Once the parts have been cut, each lamp is assembled by hand. The base houses the electronic system, including the batteries, a limit switch and the switch circuit. Integrating these components forms part of making the piece, alongside building its framework and assembling its parts.

The leather handle allows the lamp to be carried. Across its different variants, the collection retains the same portable format, with the openwork pattern providing the main visual distinction.

The base and upper arches are built by gluing together layers of 10 mm MDF.

Ornamental motifs and regular perforations offer different versions of the openwork body.
