Walnut Slatted Desk Lamp

This distinctive lamp combines technical precision with handcrafted beauty. Its spidery head shell—formed from bent copper strips—frames re-sawn walnut slats and a double-thick bronze screen, all assembled with brass acorn nuts for a striking diffused glow. The walnut is hand-sanded, oiled, lightly stained, and waxed for a rich, consistent tone, while the copper and brass elements feature a dark bronze patina with varied surface textures.

A custom full-range dimmer with a brass knob offers nuanced control, while the head rotates and locks to direct light precisely. The sculptural walnut base tapers at the back to elevate the design beyond a simple wooden block.
