Barkbend Lantern

Barkbend Lantern
Gnarled driftwood lamp with wire-mesh shade, rustic and sculptural presence.

A gnarled, darkened limb curves into a rustic hook, suspending a wire-mesh light like fruit on the vine. Barkbend Lantern blends raw shoreline wood with an industrial cage glow—grounded by a solid beech wood base for a calm, sculptural presence.

Where It Comes From

Gathered along the shores of Lake Constance, the limb’s natural bend suggested a lantern hook the moment it was found. We followed that gesture—easing rough points, sealing the grain with natural oil, and setting it on a quiet beech wood base—then stopped before the wood’s story was overworked.

Why It Matters

Barkbend Lantern is light held by landscape—material truth over ornament. It brings warmth, texture, and a clear gesture to a room without adding noise.

For Those Who See Beauty in the Untamed

At Arbor Design, every object is a conversation between nature and maker. No two are alike. No process is rushed. Every piece is made once, with intention—and then never again. By day, a textured arc and steel lattice; by night, a soft, patterned pool of light. Place it on a desk, bedside, or console when you want warmth with a restrained, sculptural line.
