Lantern log - Mechanically Dimming Lamp with Real Log Texture

Don't have a 3D Printer? My models print great with These Printers (affiliate)

This design was a collaboration with OHR DESIGN

PRINT AND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS COMING SOON, check back in a couple hours and I will have them uploaded!

The coolest lamp that I'll (probably) ever make I designed this lamp in collaboration with OHR Design. We combined their super unique dimmable lamps with a photo scanned tree texture from Gazzaladra. We then reimagined it to make it fully 3D printable to create the most amazing lamp, that only requires the addition of a light.

**But how does it work? ** Each of the log segments is linked to an inner gear, so when the lever is twisted, all the log fins rotate out. This allows you precise control over the level of light. This mechanism took a few months, and a ton of iterations to perfect.

Where did the idea come from? This design came about after seeing one of OHR Designs cool lamps. I was working on designing the Forest Chess Set, and thought it would be amazing if you could turn a piece of nature like a log, into am functional lamp. After chatting for a few weeks, we got started on the design together.
