Marcellina Lamp
“Tęsknota” is a Polish word that translates to “longing” or “nostalgia” in English. It refers to a deep emotional longing or yearning for someone or something that is absent or far away. Just as the lamp’s light reaches out into the darkness, tesknota reaches out across the void, bridging the gap between the past and the present. It serves as a reminder of what has been lost or left behind, creating a bittersweet longing that can be both painful and comforting.
Furthering my efforts to find new ways to reuse wasted material from the studio, last year I started experimenting with ways to use the endless supply of sawdust and cast it into molds. The bodies of the Tęsknota are made from that material and the base was hand carved from white oak. The shades are recycled aluminum with an acid etched with the komorebi pattern.
The Marcellina Lamp is named after a mountain near my childhood home. I always admired how its steep rocky cliffs shoot out of the expansiveness of the green aspen grove below.
