Chanda Floor Lamp – Basant

A lathe does not let you rush. The wood turns, the tool meets it, and the shape arrives at whatever pace the material allows. Chanda was made that way, segment by segment, each one turned from solid maple until the column found its rhythm.

Chanda Basant is the bright one, named for spring and the kite festival. Mustard yellow, deep blue, forest green and a deep red, each waist a different colour, moving up the column like a sky full of kites.

Organic milk paint is worked by hand into the turned hollows between each maple section, chalky and soft rather than glossy. The colour settles into the wood instead of sitting on top of it, holding the warmth of the material underneath.

At 64 inches the lamp reads as a totem before it reads as a light. It stands rather than occupies, and it looks as considered from across the room as it does up close.

Handcrafted in Toronto from solid maple, turned on the lathe and finished in organic milk paint, on a brushed metal base.

Comes with a grey linen drum shade. A white shade is available on request.
