Galaxy Lamp "Andromeda T" - Maple/Walnut
Galaxy Lamp "Andromeda T" - Maple/Walnut
11" x 24" x 11"
Cherry, basswood, washi paper
Explore the swirling spirals of this "galaxy" of light.
The Galaxy Lamp series explores a particular set of shapes (for the math nerds out there: polar zonohedra) that feature spirals on their surfaces. By extruding these spirals down from edges of the outer shape, I create a simple-yet-complex dance of multiple spirals starting and ending at two common points.
Beautiful in their own right as small tabletop sculptures, the real magic happens when the lamps are turned on. The light fills the inset washi paper in each face with a golden glow, instantly creating a soothing, meditative ambiance in any room.
Product Details
Andromeda T features the Galaxy Lamp multi-spiral design embedded in a circular base, appearing to spiral right into your desk or tabletop.
Each lamp is hand-made to order, using plywood with a basswood core and surface veneers of natural maple and walnut, as well as genuine Japanese washi paper made from mulberry silk. (This is the same paper that is used to fashion traditional shoji screens found in Japanese architecture.)
Your lamp ships with a warm, soft light, globe bulb (recommended for best effect - though you can swap in any standard socket light bulb you prefer), and wall cord. The cord features a standard US-style wall plug (120V/60Hz AC), is 6 1/2 feet in length, and has an inline on/off switch positioned on the cord about 18 inches from the lamp base.
Production / Shipping Time
Since each lamp is made to order, please allow 2-3 weeks for production. If timing is a concern, feel free to contact me to see what my current backlog time is. Shipping speeds and options will be shown at checkout, and you will be notified as soon as your lamp ships.
