The Prop is an acrylic table lamp consisting of three laser cut moulded pieces that radiate from a central triangular form. The manufacturing process used is the reverse to normal acrylic moulding in that the acrylic is laser cut to size first & then moulded to ensure an absolute minimum of wastage from a single sheet. The included low energy light source reflects off the gloss finish of the lamp, playing with perception & the conventions of a typical lampshade.
