The Leaf Lamp by Peter Schumacher
Australian designer Peter Schumacher has created the Leaf Lamp for Green Furniture Sweden.
.
Description from the manufacturer:
Very close to how nature itself designs, and yet based on simple principles, this lamp has a harmonic and natural shape. The trunk and branches, made of round birch parts with wedged ends, join without glue and the leafs consist of thin unbleached and starched wool leaves – a 100% natural mix that ship as a flat package. The tree shares its inner energy, from a warm toned LED or induction bulb, through the foliage as a soft and natural light.
Leaf Lamp is very sound absorbing – the foilage forms a soft labyrinth of 4,5 / 6 square meters of wool felt.

unbleached starch wool. well I guess you could have it dry cleaned after it accumulated enough dust. And dust is all I’m thinking about here (lil practical moi).

It’s a light…where’s a picture of it illuminated? The “un-lit” photos attached don’t do much to intrigue me with the concept or the execution.

Hard to have an opinion of this as a lamp with ho photo of the type of light it gives. Fun as an object, though.

What a beautiful lamp and what a fantastic idea to use wool for the “leaves”.
I want one!

Kind of cute as a pendant. Clumsy as a floor lamp.
Hope it somehow turns into a magical piece of sculpture once lit. More photos please.
