Vintage wood naturally carries differences in grain, color, wear, and turning marks. Product photographs show the character retained in the finished piece.

Vintage American Hardwoods, Reimagined as Lighting.

These lamps usually start with a found wooden form: a turned walnut bowl or another hardwood object with good shape and grain. I choose pieces for their wear, silhouette, and material, then adapt them into working lamps. The goal is not to erase the object’s past. It is to keep what gives it character and build function around it.
