Thirty-nine inches of hollowed teak log, standing just under a foot wide. The designers balanced the trunk's raw mass against the softness of the shade; an artisan selects each log, hollows and shapes it by hand, then wires it with UL-listed parts, shade, bulb, and cord fitted at the workshop. Solid trunk, not a veneer tube around a hollow form.
A cheap floor lamp is landfill in three years and reads as filler the whole time. This one is dried twenty days before it is hollowed, its moving finished, so the trunk stands planted for decades. In a living-room corner or beside the bed it works two jobs — sculpture by day, warm pooled light by night. Visitors assume you found it in a gallery; you get to say it started as a tree.
