I have always enjoyed creating chair side reading lamps. I have created some other “Pod” fixtures and I thought it would be fun the do that here. The three rolled and hammered pieces were soldered together to form a cone. The bulb is located deep inside the cone 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 for 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.
