This lamp consists of two main solid walnut components, as well as four hidden walnut pegs and a paper lampshade. The base of the lamp is a flat, rectangular piece of wood that is one inch thick. Suspended half an inch above the base is a triangular block of walnut, shaped like the roof of a house. At its peak, the triangular prism is one and a half inches tall. In between the “roof” and the base is a paper shade that is recessed from the edges of the triangular top. Not a lot of light is produced by this lamp. When viewed from above, the top seems to be hovering over the bottom, supported only by the faint warm light that emits from its edges. One cannot read or work by this lamp, but it is ideal for an ambiant night light. Instead of producing light for the purpose of aiding sight and work, as most lamps do, this lamp emits light for the sake of emitting light. It asks us to simply appreciate its structure and its light, and not ask of it anything else.
