Functional

Sculptural Metal Lamps

Sculptural lamps are functional pieces built the same way as the studio's wall work - hand-welded from raw stock in copper, steel, and mixed metal, each one a one-off.

About this collection

The work

Lamps live in the overlap of sculpture and furniture. The base is treated as a sculptural object first and a lamp second. Wiring and sockets are spec'd to UL-equivalent standards and confirmed at the project level.

Custom lamp commissions are welcomed. Share the room, the wattage you want, and any reference photos and Corey will quote a scale and silhouette that fits.
