Entry Description

Looking back to the revolutionary ages of lighting, my lamp is a honor of the pioneers of that era. Using the newest technology of LED I am emphasizing the old form and function of filament by creating a sculpture-like lamp.
The lamp works with touch dimmer. By touching any metal part, it turns on and off.
Materials:
- wood
- carbon steel
- brass
