This table lamp was designed by London based designer Steve Watson in 2008. Although it has passed three years since then, Prop lamp remains very inspiring.

Made in United Kingdom, this black acrylic table lamp has been designed to a strict brief of efficiency both in use of material as well as energy, whilst still retaining a high aesthetic appeal. It consists of three laser-cut molded pieces that radiate from a central triangular form.

The manufacturing process used is the reverse to traditional acrylic molding in that the acrylic is laser cut to size first and then molded to ensure an absolute minimum of wastage from a single sheet, 3% in fact. The low energy light source reflects off the gloss finish of the lamp, playing with perception and the conventions of a typical lampshade.
