Large Poplar Table Lamp with Terracotta Empire Shade
This tall and tapered table lamp celebrates poplar wood’s uniquely decorative appearance.
The surface of this lamp body is vertically contoured, inviting touch. The irregularity of the grooved surface is balanced by the regular geometrical relationship of its twelve narrow feet divided into six pairs. For those with spiritual inclinations, the number six has been associated since ancient times with the transitional condition of humanity, while twelve points in the round are collectively associated with a complete cycle. Together, the shape suggests peaceful resolution, harmony between the material and the empyrean. The rising form is an assertion of the transcendent nature of self-acceptance.
The empire shade features organic linen Danielle naturally dyed with invasive ice plant, harvested from the San Francisco coast.
This is a large lamp for someone in search of a unique and functional lighting feature, especially someone who appreciates a bit of mystical concept.
Note: A vibrant yellow shade that Danielle has dyed with passionfruit vine is also available for this lamp. The plant material used to dye this shade comes from a variety of Passiflora edulis we cultivate in our own garden.

*Poplar sapwood is cream to yellow in color, while its heartwood is distinguished by irregular stripes of golden green to earthen brown, with streaks of grayish blue and purple owed to natural mineral staining within the tree.
Poplar is generally free of knots and twists, and its consistent fibres provide excellent paint adhesion. In fact, it’s painted so often that its nude appearance is exceptional in the world of furniture, cabinetry, and electric guitar building.
