This sculpted lamp in rich black lacquer can be easily mistaken for just another whim of a budding designer. But Prop’s personality runs deeper than its looks. The triangular heart of the acrylic lamp is formed by three laser-cut pieces that augment the strength of light being poured, without increasing figures of energy consumption. The gloss finish not only adds to the haute appeal of the lamp, but works as a reflecting surface. As the maker, Steve Watson, points out that Prop’s basic instinct is of a lampshade, but yet puts it atop with ideas of low-energy and minimum wastage.
