The development of a form through multiple studies led me to create the perfect lamp base. Inspired by the space needle and middle-eastern hookahs, this piece was turned using a large chunk of walnut on a lathe.
i moved straight into three dimensional, using a lathe to push against its ornamental bias and explore a modern form. with scrap hardwood, i ran multiple studies to experiment, iterate, and refine the shape.
i selected my three strongest studies, overlaid them in illustrator, and combined the best elements into a final form, refining it within the intended dimensions.
