Oak, cast iron
"in a brave new world imagination is free to produce a complex lamp with simple materials, translating the warm soul of the oak wood in a mechanic way.""the brave new world lamp by design duo fresh west started as a concept piece of random thought-initiated construction. Following the example of old far eastern bamboo scaffolding or simply of our childhood meccano creations, the brave new world lamp was developed without a design or plan in place. Nevertheless each piece of wood is carefully notched and pegged together to form an integral part of the overall mechanical structure." Material: Oak frame and cast iron balancing weights"
