Weekend Update 1.22.12
In the last few weeks I’ve decided that I want to focus more on making lamps…turns out that I really enjoy making them, and have become kinda obsessed with them. I will still make cat furniture and other miscellaneous one-offs, but I think my focus will likely be more lamp-centric. They are manageable in my space in terms of production and materials, and much easier to ship - plus they’re just dang fun to design. I am also able to make more of them in different variations, so the possibilities for making lamps are infinite.
Currently this is what’s happening right now down in the shop:
*** I’ve been experimenting with the Frankendenza. This is made from a hybrid mix of recycled plywood from other projects and wood shipping pallets. It will remain door-less (although I have ideas for how I will make doors on future versions), and will feature the color pattern that you see here, plus white accents on the plywood edges and a cool paper pattern to line the sides of the inside part of each bay.
*** I am working on building two more slat lamps, which will feature the same overall design but use different materials than the one that is currently listed on the Handsome site.
*** I am thinking of converting four salvaged wood desk drawers into lamps or birdhouses. More on that in the near future.
*** I am about to mount some new abstract infographic drawings to their wood bases.
*** I am working on my first stab at the Edison type wood block lamp. Everyone and their grandmothers are making these, so I thought I would try out my own version.
*** Awaiting electrical hardware that I recently ordered: sockets, bulbs, switches, plugs, and wire. Once that all arrives, I will be able to complete the latest lamps. More updates coming soon.
Cheers
