folk lamp


the floral lamp project began as a collaboration between a textile and a furniture designer in hopes of fusing two distinctly different worlds to produce an outcome that expresses the essence of what each has to offer. taking a closer look at each of the studios, the two paired up to develop a design that would both, express the intricate detail of textile design, and the utilitarian usability of furniture. verging on sentimentalism, the project references traditional floral textile motifs, combined with new technology of laser cutting therefore melding the past with the current.


materials: veneer, paper backer
designers: mathew birtch and marta pietrzyk of vest collective, toronto.
