The big zen lamp

A big floor or desk lamp made from bamboo and Japanese rice paper. If you are ordering for Australia, I can supply the light fitting. For orders outside of Australia, please contact me for shipping and lighting options. If you are willing to wield the glue and scissors yourself, this item could be ordered as a flat-pack. It will save a considerable amount on shipping costs and give you a fun weekend challenge. Please contact me if this option appeals.

Zen lantern

SquirrelswithHammers — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:18:04 GMT

A single-box zen lantern. The patterns on the sides of the box work in such a way that, although different, they seamlessly join on all edges, and, in fact, you can stack multiple boxes together for a more dramatic arrangement. It looks great at night with a light inside. Not suitable for a candle as it is fully enclosed, but perfect for a no-heat flickering LED substitute - or a very low watt bulb if you are electrically inclined. This one is made from 3mm MDF and japanese rice paper and the finished cude is almost 12cm or 4.5 inches tall.

zen table lamp

SquirrelswithHammers — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:53:06 GMT

A 3d asterisk-shaped table lamp made from stained MDF and japanese rice paper. Multiple designs feature on the 30 seperate faces of the lamp, yet the design on each face connects seamlessly with its adjoining sides. The finished piece stands at around 34cm in height. I'll construct the object for you: staining the MDF, applying the rice paper screens to the inside and conducting the tricky step of glueing the whole thing together (tricky because it involves glue, rubber bands and elbows). In order to comply with local laws and power systems, you'll need to provide your own light source. I recommend a low wattage compact flourescent bulb (7 watts or less). If you'd like to have a go at constructing the lamp yourself, I can provide detailed instructions and a reduced price due to flat-pack shipping and your (fun) efforts in construction.
