The SAW.Earth See Earth collection is a series of handmade lamps and found wood and stone assemblages presented as a gallery exhibition at DUDD HAUS in Philadelphia. The collection comprises fourteen lamps and three mixed-material assemblages crafted by SAW.Earth founder and designer Drew Seskunas. Lamp bases are made from cedar wood, and shades are formed from handmade mulberry bark paper pressed with organic inclusions such as hemp, flowers, or bodhi leaves to capture material texture and translucency.
The works include standing lamps, table lamps, pendant lamps, and sconces, each supplied with a soft LED light source and a cloth-cord dimmer switch. The objects were created to manifest material presence through craft and natural materials. The See Earth collection was displayed at DUDD HAUS in December 2025. Seskunas developed the pieces in his Brooklyn studio, using age-old paper-making and woodworking techniques to explore material limitations and qualities.
