Lantern log - Mechanically Dimming Lamp with Real Log Texture
We designed this lamp in collaboration with Forge Core Co https://thangs.com/designer/ForgeCore!. We combined our Reveal lamps with a photo scanned tree texture from Gazzaladra [https://thangs.com/designer/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 Colby seeing The Reveal Original lamp. Colby was working on designing the Forest Chess Set (which is on his thangs account), 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.
