Ribbed Tripod Lamp

A small table lamp of our own design. The shade is a ribbed translucent shell that glows when the bulb is on and shows its vertical ribs when it is off. Three curved wooden legs rise past the sides of the shade and are tied together lower down by a black three-arm brace.

Shade and stand were modelled together in CAD before anything was made. The shade is 3D printed in translucent filament, the legs are wood with the grain left showing, and the brace between them is printed in black. Shown here in white and in amber.
