This is still one of my favorites. This lamp started with some left over pieces from a chandelier I created earlier. I liked the idea of indirect lighting where you didn’t see the bulbs. The inspirations came in bits and pieces. This took months to complete. It was great fun to see it finally all come together. The lamp was sold, off the showroom floor, by Luxe Lighting in Seattle. It went into an entrance hallway with no lighting. However, it did have a wall socket about half way down the hall. It was perfect for that location.

The “pods” are made of copper. The blanks are cut to shape with a band saw. The texture is achieved by using two hammers. One with a wedged striking surface and the other with a pointed striking surface. A hard, 1"steel, hammering plate flattens out the dimple caused by the pointed hammer. Then the“pods” are heated and formed around a metal post to give them enough curve to hide bulbs. The stems are hammered copper tubing. The base is Paperstone with a hammered copper plate on top. There is a small Paperstone piece on top of the copper plate that the stems pass through. There is a lone, hammered copper tendril that winds about half way up the stems. It stands 72” tall and the spread of the “pods” at the top is about 20". Each “pod” has a 20w, bi-pin, halogen bulb that shines back against the wall. It is operated by a dimmer switch on the wall.
