Sliced Concrete Lamps

Qoowl's Industrial-Style Crescent Lamp Can Create Various Lighting Looks

— November 6, 2015 — Art & Design
These industrial concrete lamps are a creative design idea, appearing to be a solid cylinder from one side but a crescent from the other, dramatically sliced right down the middle.

Designed by Troy Reugebrink for Qoowl, this playful lamp adds an edgy look to a room while also appearing to be an antique object, made from an ancient Greek pillar. These styles give the lamp a comfortable home in any room, able to fit in with various design schemes.

The lighting the concrete lamps give off is also unique, as faced away light glows out the edges or can reflect off a nearby wall. If more direct light is desired, then the open half can be turned toward the room, boldly revealing the light bulb.
