Twig Lamp
At Budji Living in Manila, we designed a table lamp intended for export to high-end markets/hotels. The lamp made use of chrome-plated iron rods combined with a frosted glass diffuser instead of a traditional textile shade. When lit, silhouettes of hazy twigs that extend beyond the base offer a pleasant surprise that adds more value to the piece.
From rough sketches to the approved design.

Comments sent to the vendor after evaluating the images.
In the second prototype that we requested, we had asked to make the twigs longer so to create the full effect on the entire glass shade.
The chrome-plated twigs also create shadows and highlights when the lamp is lit.
