SCANTLING

The assembly of basic geometric shapes and the use of wood alongside metal give this family of luminaires an approachable feel while also possessing a distinctive personality. All movements of the shade, including full rotation, are achieved through joints and arms, and their technical precision means that no visible springs or counterweights are required to maintain the chosen position.

The English word Scantling refers to the cross-sectional dimensions of a wooden rod, and derives from a measuring tool used in the past. The evidence of its constructive interplay gives this lamp a certain archetypal, almost graphic image. Lacquered iron stem and base. Solid oak arm holding an aluminium diffuser. The switch is integrated into the shade.
