Precision Table Lamp

Neat rows of pinholes let the light out a little at a time.

The Precision Table Lamp is made of bronze and frosted glass. Pierced metal lighting has old roots in lanterns, where perforations scatter light into points and patterns. This lamp is a slim upright cylinder on a disc base. Its upper portion is perforated in a regular grid, while the bottom is plain metal. The dark bronze surface has a subtle sheen, and the frosted glass within softens the glow behind the holes. It is 16.25 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.

Discreet, orderly, and very good at being in the corner.
