Based on the same construction and shape principle as the Copper Lights, we developed a wooden version, made from real wood veneer and a film backing. The wood veneer is cut and engraved by laser. The film backing functions as a hinge, making it possible to fold the veneer where it would normally break.

Copper Lights

Simply by folding, a thin copper sheet can be used to construct stable forms. This principle defines the shape and aesthetics of the Copper Lights. For precise bending, the lines have been etched halfway into the material. The sheets are then folded and assembled by hand in The Netherlands.

By reflecting its surroundings, each facet gets a different tone, from dark brown to red to orange. The material gives a warm color to the light that shines from these delicate lamps. The three variations of the Copper Lights make them suitable for many different interior applications.

The Copper Lights are available directly from David Derksen Design. For enquiries please send us an email or visit the webshop. (more…)
