I have always enjoyed chair side reading lamps. I have created some other “Pod” fixtures and I thought it would be fun to do that here. The three rolled and hammered shade pieces were soldered together to form a cone. The bulb is located deep inside to prevent being a distraction for others in the room. The tubing twist was created by soldering three half-round copper plumbing connectors together to form a kind of musical instrument feeling. The light head swivels left and right. All the copper parts received an oxidized and hand rubbed finish with a wax overcoat. The full range dimmer, in the base, is controlled by a vertical dimmer wand in front of the main light pole. It is capped with a custom walnut knob and secured by two walnut spacers. The weighted base is cut from a two-and-a-quarter-inch slab of elm. It has an oiled, waxed, and polished finish. The braided rayon cord exits from the back of the base. The lamp is 65" tall x 11" wide x 12" deep. It can use any wattage LED bulb.
