Explore This Amazing WorkBlocks Lamps Lighting Fixture
Blocks Lamps explores cubes and boxes as symbols of movement, transition, and time. Inspired by urban architecture, the sculptural table lamps resemble a modular cityscape, drawing from libraries, towers, and townhouses. Wood grain imprinted shades transfer organic textures, capturing time’s passage. The interplay of light, shadow, and materiality blurs the line between lighting and architecture, reflecting how objects shift, accumulate, and shape the perception of space and memory.
