GIRAFFE LAMP - MACASSAR & SHAGREEN

$32,900.00

As artists experimenting and working with timber and exotic materials, we get to chase ideas that often seem just beyond reach. Now and then, we catch one. The Giraffe Lamp came from that kind of moment. All long limbs and quiet grace, a Giraffe makes you smile on sight - elegance with a touch of joyful awkwardness. We set out to capture that feeling. Years of experiments later, it stood before us.

There is just ONE ONLY AVAILABLE in this combination of Macassar timber with a cream Shagreen shade.

As artists experimenting and working with timber and exotic materials, we get to chase ideas that often seem just beyond reach. Now and then, we catch one. The Giraffe Lamp came from that kind of moment. All long limbs and quiet grace, a Giraffe makes you smile on sight - elegance with a touch of joyful awkwardness. We set out to capture that feeling. Years of experiments later, it stood before us.

There is just ONE ONLY AVAILABLE in this combination of Macassar timber with a cream Shagreen shade.

Four curved, square-profile legs rise and swell, multiple compound curves merge into a single form- an effortless transition, like a giraffe coming to rest in a place of stillness. The mouldings and feet are carved from solid African ebony, giving the piece a grounded, sculptural presence.

The shade is where the challenge truly took flight. Shagreen -traditionally opaque - has been worked into four panels of just one millimetre thin, joined with precision and hand worked in such a way that the bone-covered leather turns semi-translucent. Light passes through as a soft, ethereal glow. Achieving that effect took years of refinement, a development from our 2014 work outfitting the Boucher-designed Rolls-Royce Ghost. What remains is simple: a lamp that feels alive. Poised, playful, and quietly extraordinary.

(LED light bulb with bayonet fitting.)
