new lamps by asaf weinbroom

industrial designer asaf weinbroom has developed a new series of the lamp designs
that focuses on unifying concepts, mechanism, joinery and new technologies while using
wood as the main material for the new pieces.

the light fixtures incorporate metals, glass and a variety of plastic materials as building
blocks for the object’s elements. using these materials creates an overall mass produced
aesthetic. however, this is contrasted with the use of wood, a renewable material that
creates a sense of natural one-of-a-kind warmth and emphasizes a handmade quality
to the final products.

detail of base

each of the lamp's bases are handmade in weinbroom's wood shop. the lampshade cones
are built from a lamination of red oak veneer. the lampshade texture accents the wood's
natural fiber and structure. the studio also developed a unique lamination technology in
the manufacturing of the cones. this encompasses producing a very strong cone made from
thin layers of veneer that is light in appearance.
