Swaybeam – Curved Timber Table Lamp

This lamp’s winding stem seems to grow organically from its pale wood base, rising in a natural bend to support a linen shade like a branch leaning toward the sun. Swaybeam captures motion in stillness—calm, fluid, and sculptural.

Where It Comes From

Collected along the shores of Lake Constance, the log retains its cracks, pale grain, and water-worn surface. A hand-shaped curve of metal was added, echoing the gesture of a branch bending toward light, then crowned with a linen shade to preserve balance between raw wood and refined glow.

Why It Matters

Swaybeam is about gentle motion—an arc of metal, a rooted base, and a linen halo. It embodies balance: rustic grounding with a modern sculptural lift.

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 natural trunk with a silvered arc; by night, a wide linen glow that steadies the room. Place it on a desk, console, or sideboard to add both character and calm.
