A floor lamp made from American walnut, built as a study in balance between structure, warmth, and light.
The stem is shaped with gentle bends, the cable runs hidden inside the leg, and the faceted wooden head diffuses the light with a soft, controlled glow. Built for the Nagar Oman exhibition in Tel Aviv in Summer 2022, the lamp moves between furniture-making and lighting design, with an intentionally restrained construction that lets the material and joinery speak.
With Tezeta, I wanted to build a wooden light that feels more drawn than assembled.
I built it from American walnut, shaping the stem with gentle bends and constructing the head as a faceted wooden shade that holds and diffuses the light from within. The construction stays intentionally restrained, so the material, the joinery, and the glow carry most of the expression.
This study sits between furniture-making and lighting design. I was interested in how far I could push solid wood into a more delicate line without losing its weight, clarity, and presence.
The cable runs hidden inside the leg, allowing the lamp to read as one continuous wooden gesture rather than a technical assembly. The head is built from repeated walnut elements that create rhythm around the light source and soften the beam.
What matters to me in this lamp is the tension between warmth and discipline. It has something familiar in it, but also something searching, as if the lamp is still quietly orienting itself toward the room.
That balance between craft, structure, and atmosphere is what led the work. American walnut, hidden cable routing through the leg, wax finish, built for the Nagar Oman exhibition in Tel Aviv, Summer 2022.
