Jean-Luc Godard has a way around wood and metal. With a background in furniture design and custom sign making, Godard is keen on working with raw materials, from which he forms distinct, naturalistic sculptures that make for wonderful statement pieces. But it’s his unique lamps (or rather, sculptural lighting), that first caught our attention.

Using organic designs that remind of the shapes and forms found in nature, his sculptural lightings seem like an extension – or response – to our natural surroundings. “I pride myself on having a keen eye for choosing the perfect materials,” writes Godard on his website, “those with beautiful natural curves and unique grain to the wood, which make my pieces unique and which define my work as that of a naturalist.”

“While others may develop one style and reproduce countless versions of it, for me, the creative process is a journey that takes you to places limited only by your imagination,” he adds. As such, his work isn’t confined to one specific style or theme.

Originally from France, Godard moved to the United States in 1989 and now resides in Connecticut. With his cozy studio situated at the edge of nature preserve in the rolling foothills of the Berkshires, and overlooking a meadow in full bloom, Godard’s sculptures blend nicely with their surroundings.

There are lamps, and then there are Przemek Krawczyński lamps. Made of dried gourd—a tropical fruit he sources from Senegal, Guinea, and Mali—his lamps don’t just provide light; rather, they serve as unique sculptures that come alive when the light seeps through them.

As the light passes through the intricately carved wood, Krawczyński’s one-of-a-kind pieces create unique patterns of light and shadow, transforming an ordinary interior into a warm, enchanted landscape.

Born in Poland, Krawczyński has his mom to thank for introducing him to the tropical fruit which serves the basis of his work. “In 2009 thanks to my mom, for the first time in my life, I accidentally came across the gourd fruit,” he writes on his website. “As soon as I made my first gourd lamp for myself, I knew that I wanted to make another one.”

But creating his handcrafted lamps requires much effort and time. Making one lamp usually takes between 3-5 months of work, adding up to about 2-3 lamps per year. “For me, the quality, the perfection of the finished lamp, self-fulfillment, and satisfaction from my work are most crucial – they are more important than the number of lamps I can create,” says Krawczyński. “That is why I never repeat their patterns; each of my handmade lamps is matchless, extraordinary and will not be imitated in the future.”

OWL is a paper lamp brand from Lisbon, Portugal, founded by two architects, Hugo Formiga and Teresa Almeida, in 2016. They offer a variety of wild animals that easily turn into gorgeous lamps using folding techniques. And yes, they have a few owls in their catalog, among other animals.

Formiga and Almeida explain that their “most recent designs have focused on large, endangered mammals. The selection tends to raise awareness about wildlife and simultaneously recreates the animals in a playful and abstract manner. The designs seem to trigger stories about themselves and are conceived as fun lighting objects with a hint of personality.”

See some of them below.
