the Stratus Lamp
The Stratus lamp is where nature and craftsmanship unite, bringing the soft glow of light through the intricate folds of handcrafted wood. The light wood brings warmth through its soft textures that exude natural grace. Like a fine instrument, each detail is a note of its own. Sharp yet harmonious, the edges and contours of Stratus reveal a bold shape, with each curve following the last with precision. Careful handwork is evident, shaping its soft, durable character.
Meticulously shaped from premium veneer through an intricate handcrafted process, the Stratus lamp is an ode to the dedication and expertise of artisans, for it defies the confines of mechanized production. It results in a design that only handmade pieces can achieve, allowing for a sense of authenticity and refinement. The organic flow of its form reflects a unity between natural material, conscious design methodologies and an honest production process.
Inspired by the artistry of instrument building, the shape of the lamp is reminiscent of traditional folded textile lampshades, but its materiality and the pure and natural simplicity of the wood give it a complete new expression. Its natural grain and understated finish lend it an earthy character, creating a modest aesthetic. The balance of trusted shapes and raw material gives Stratus a presence that feels grounded while unexpectedly sophisticated.
