let there be light

ipu + light pod

plywood lamps have been making a comeback recently and artist mark chai is adding a hawaiian perspective with his handcrafted designs. each lamp is made with interlocking pieces of 2-ply wood veneer and it's fun to study the construction when you see them hovering above you.

these are definitely conversation pieces and designs range from the curvaceous ipu to the statement making light pod. photos really don't do the lamps justice so if you're in chinatown stop by into to take a peek.
