An organic ambiance that brings nature into the home space

Treehouse Lamp

CODED IN GRASSHOPER, 3D MODELED IN RHINO7

I was inspired by the naturally occurring Voronoi pattern found in onion skins, tree canopies, and even giraffe coats. I wanted to bring this natural elegance into the home. I decided to represent the parametric design in a table lamp that illuminates the beautiful design and can double as a night stand. My main considerations were easy assembly, lightweight, and ambiance.

Fabrication

  • Material sourcing

    I knew that this project would be material-intensive because of the CNC requirements. To address this, I used only scrap wood when building

  • Wood prep

    To make one continuous design, I glued many sheets of scrap plywood together to maximize material surface area

  • CNC Router

    Utilizing the CNC, the Voronoi pattern was cut out in less than an hour, and was then sanded and finished

Easy assembly

Designed in just three parts, the Treehouse Lamp can be assembled in seconds!

  1. Simply thread the lightbulb through the base and secure in place

  2. Then slip the paper shade into the frame

  3. Center the wooden top and turn on the light!

Features

  • Base

    The light-bulb is inserted through the top of the lamp and rests on base stand. The three risers allow the cord to lay in any direction

  • Lamp frame

    The plywood frame was cut by the CNC router and sanded by hand. The wood was finished with a Varathane red mahogany wood stain

  • Top stand

    The removable top also functions as a stand to place books, water bottles, or cups of tea
