Stack and Stitch Lamps
Stack and Stitch Lamps
A mish-mosh of plaids and stripes are stitched together to make this one-of-a-kind scrap lampshade. The base of the lamp is made from stacked plywood scraps, glued together and cut with a chainsaw into a unique organic shape. We took two different approaches for finishing the bases - one is left more raw and textured, treated with an emerald paint wash. The other has been more thoroughly sanded for a smooth finish - the paint is layered with a red undercoat and sanded back to highlight edges where the facets meet.
