The Magic Lamp's form is inspired by the form of the mushroom Psilocybe semilanceata, a species of fungus with a distinctive conical to bell-shaped cap that produces psychoactive compounds, otherwise known as the Magic Mushroom. The pearl white shade is 3D printed with a plant based plastic. As the light shines through it, the spiralling concentric lines created by the layering of material in the printing process are highlighted. Underneath the head are mushroom like gills, also 3D printed. The combination of materials, and it's natural form, stand out as the main features of this design.

Daragh has had a life long passion for design, craft, and wood. He holds a degree in 3D design and has worked for over 20 years designing and making bespoke furniture in residential and commercial settings for his clients in the UK, USA, and Europe. There can be no better master than nature Daragh believes, and it is his intention to faithfully capture the beauty of both well-known and overlooked natural phenomena and to do this in materials that bring their integrity and abiding beauty into interior spaces. Through care and attention to detail in creating his pieces, Daragh aims for them to outlast his customers and be handed down for generations to come and to continue giving value to those who own them. He tells us that coincidentally the name Daragh means Oak tree in the Irish language. Daragh by name and Daragh by nature!
