A suspended light in quarter-sawn American walnut, built so the grain reads as one mirrored movement held in space.
It was made to hang above a meeting table, slightly below eye level. That height matters: before the light is read as illumination, it is met as wood, direction, rhythm, and sectional calm.
The central move was to make quarter-sawn walnut legible across the whole object. Rather than treating each side as a separate component, the lamp was built so the grain could move across it as one continuous sentence.
The result is quiet from a distance, then more exact at close range. Its structure stays restrained, and the walnut carries the expressive weight.
This light was created for the "Nagar Oman" furniture exhibition in Tel Aviv, summer 2022. In that setting, it needed to operate on two levels at once: as a clear architectural line in the room, and as a crafted object that rewards attention at close range.
The light stays soft and diffused, while the timber carries the visual weight. What appears minimal at first begins to reveal joinery, balance, and the mirrored rhythm inside the wood.
