Plenty of people are quite happy to take some role in the creation of the products that they purchase and the Corset Lamp is a marvellously straightforward project that promotes involvement in its assembly. Cristian Reyes presents the consumer with just eight components that can be easily and intuitively combined into a finished product.
The socket-integrated fixture takes a rounded cone-like form and is manufactured in beech wood or cork. A colorful fabric-wrapped cord connects to this and suspends the pendant lamp from the ceiling. A crescent-shaped piece of leather has been cut so that it wraps around the base. Grommets in the material suggest that you're to stitch the ends of the hide together before securing them with a drawstring clip. The Corset Lamp has been cleverly designed to come together every time.
