Toronto’s Urban Reclaimed Wood as Laser Cut Lamps

We blogged about Toronto’s urban forests in a previous post about working with the city’s Urban Utilization initiative. One of the projects that we sourced the reclaimed wood for is “Branch Lamp”, a DIY lamp kit, designed by our friends at LGA Architectural Partners, and laser cut at Hot Pop Factory.

In the words of the designers:

“Each of the lamp’s unique fins are created by digitally carving away at a tree branch before they are perforated with offset, staggered openings. The light passing through these openings evoke the delicate, filtering effect of the tree’s canopy and foliage.”

Wood is a versatile and economical material to work with, when laser cut, it can be transformed into signage, decor, stationary, jewelry and very unique gifts.
