I have been adoring wood lamps for sometime when I decided to make one myself. I got the thin wood slats from Michael’s, designed the shape, cut the pieces to proper size, stained the bottom slat darker and then put it all together. Hanging it all together is a bit of a challenge. If you set the lamp on a flat surface, the form will intentionally collapse into itself like one of these old picnic cups or this skirt.

I love the amber light that the wood gives off. This lamp is wired with a dimmer, and it changes the look of the lamp beautifully as you dim or increase the light. I look forward to doing some wood bending in the future for my other lamp designs.
