This is a walnut corner lamp I built as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I just finished it last night! It is walnut with rice paper on the front two sides and 1/4” plywood on the back sides and is based on a Frank Lloyd Wright window design. It is light by 2 – 60 watt equivalent (13 watt actual) compact florescent bulbs. The first two pictures are of the lamp in place in my daughter’s room; the third picture is during assembly last night.

That is very nice. A little retro. I think of the design period of Wright as the high point in American design.

Aaron –
Thanks for the comment. In the last picture I was gluing in the horizontal cross pieces. I didn’t have that small of clamps, so I looped rubber bands around the vertical parts to put clamping pressure on the horizontal pieces. The short pieces sticking straight up are scrap pieces I looped the rubber band ends around – they’re not part of the lamp.

thanks randy. after looking at it a little longer i realized it had to be something like that.
what sort of joinery did you use?
and when you say 1/4” ply on back sides, do you mean the sides butting the wall? So the two faces we see are walnut and there are 2 more hidden sides as part of the framework?

I love the FLLW corner lamp! I was wondering if you had any pics of the actual light construction on the inside. I’ve made a few lamp and lighting projects but still have strouble getting the exact lighting I’m looking for. Great job
