The Shutter Light series finds a unique way to diffuse light through a solid piece of wood. Cut slots act as channels for the light to pass through gently diffusing on the sheet’s thin outer layer. The result is a rhythmic striping pattern that contrasts the organic woodgrain. When off the lights appear as solid pieces of wood.

Hobbyiest wood techniques such as kerf bending and finger joints are used to create each lamp form, providing a transpatent construction and a touch of familiarity.

Often utilized by hobbyists, kerf bending is a way of easily bending wood without expensive setups by cutting slots into a sheet. The aesthetic can often be seen as undesirable due to the faceted look and way that it makes even solid wood look veneered. 

By utilizing this dismissed technique, the Shutter Light finds a unique way to diffuse light. The slots act as channels for the light to pass through gently diffusing on the sheet’s thin outer layer. The result is a rhythmic striping pattern that contrasts the organic woodgrain.
