The Wilson Lamp
This lamp was commissioned by a friend of mine and inspired by the works of Alvar Aalto and 1940s stylistic sensibilities. I designed this lamp digitally and cut 0% of it by hand. The wood pieces were milled out of 3/8″ Mahogany on the CMU Dfab Lab’s CNC Mill. The lampshade is a continuous piece of lasercut 1/64″ 2-ply Baltic Birch. I soaked and shaped the birch plywood to mold it to the shape of the lamp. There was no glue used in the construction of this lamp, all pieces are friction.
