Klemm Table Lamp

A stem of lumps and knots, standing on three roots, painted white like a tree in snow.

The Klemm table lamp is by Oly, in cast resin. Organic, branch-like forms have been a recurring theme in modern lighting, bringing a sense of nature into a room. Here the stem is built from irregular stacked knobs, as if formed from bark or bone, rising from a three-footed base. Everything is finished in glossy white. A tapered drum shade in pale linen sits above. It is 10.25 inches long, 8.75 deep and 21.25 high.

A lamp with roots, which is unusual and somehow reassuring.
