Crafting the Wine Bottle Table Lamp

  • Hardware & Fittings: The bulb socket and shade attachments were custom-crafted on a lathe using a combination of cherry and bloodwood.

  • Shades: Created by repurposing and cutting wine bottles to a specific size.

  • Foundation: The base consists of metal mesh reinforced concrete, which was hand-sanded, polished, and sealed for a smooth finish.

  • Support: The entire piece sits on a stand made of lathe-turned cherry wood with bloodwood feet.

  • Custom Controls: A bespoke brass dimmer switch and knob were integrated into the back of the concrete base.

  • Finishing: Every wooden component was professionally sealed and finished to ensure durability.

  • Mounting System: Utilizes a steel rod with a one-sided hinge on the long side, allowing the fixture to be installed on either flat or angled ceilings.

  • Body & Base: The main structure is a sycamore driftwood branch mounted to a base made of cherry lumber.

  • Finishing: All wood is treated and protected with a blend of drying oils and beeswax.
