Illuminated Cracked Log Lamps by Blind Tasmanian Artist Duncan Meerding

log-1

Tasmania-based furniture and lighting designer Duncan Meerding highlights the naturally occurring cracks in sustainably sourced logs by inserting warm yellow LEDs that illuminate each piece of wood from within. Meerding, who is legally blind, is fascinated by unusual light applications which he refers to as his “alternative sensory world.”

Each cracked log lamp can be used as a stool, table, or simply a light accessory, and the pieces are available through a number of shops throughout Australia. Photos by Jan Dallas.
