Fence Right Lamp

The palisade motif is the whole idea here: a run of uprights standing in for a shade, so the light leaves in bands instead of one even wash. It is the trick a garden fence plays at sunset, scaled down and moved onto a side table. That puts it in corner-of-the-room territory rather than task lighting. It is the lamp you reach for in the evening when the overheads are too much, and it throws a striped pattern onto the nearest wall while it does it. Interiors already leaning towards timber, rattan and plaster tones take it well, where a plain drum shade would read as a compromise. It arrives as a single file, aimed at anyone building a room's lighting up one piece at a time rather than buying a matched set.
