MANIFESTO OF A LAMPMAKER

Due to the fact that, as a practicing architectural and landscape designer, I have choreographed how people inhabit spaces and carry out their daily rituals, I would never have believed, three or more years ago when I started to make DESK LAMPs with organic materials imitating the mechanical arts, that I would ultimately feel the need to take stock of myself — to satisfy the desire to know the reasons for all that has occurred and the even still more tantalizing results: the effect, in other words. The influence that the garden of earthly delights has had on my designs, on their ability to reintroduce raw nature back indoors — at once tamed, reconfigured, liberated.
