Paul Loebach

has designed a simple geometric table lamp made from pine for New York-based brand Areaware.

Called Shanty, the lamp’s simple pine construction is reminiscent of campfire kindling or woodland cabin architecture.

Three supporting pieces of wood are arranged diagonally around the stem of the lamp, providing both stability and decoration. A triangular pine shade diffuses the light both upwards and downwards creating an inviting warm glow.

The Shanty lamp is finished with a braided, cloth covered cord and uses a 5 watt bulb.
