Description
Overview
Birdie Table is a familiar-looking table lamp that gives diffused light. Its design takes the classic lamp with a shade and adds a contemporary twist, using durable yet light-weight materials.
Construction
The stem stands on a die cast zinc alloy base with a liquid coating, and the steel rod above it has the same coating. Inside the shade, an opaline injection-moulded polycarbonate diffuser sits within a translucent one of the same material. The control is shaped like a branch.

Story
Three parts
Rod, shade and control make up the lamp. The rod is slender, like a tree trunk; the shade keeps a classic form; the control is drawn as a branch. Together they give a light, familiar look.
