Wood Veneer Lamps: Beautiful and Ecological
Wood veneer lamps are a great option that you can use with lots of different decorative styles. With their intricately sculpted shapes, they will add a touch of sophistication to your home, and help to create a more original look.
Yes, the unique quality of these lamps lies in the diverse forms they can take, which range from the spherical, to the animal, to the fantastic.
These lamps are made from interwoven natural fibers, such as wicker, bamboo, jute and rattan. They are made up of thin layers of wood, which is what makes them look more like sculptures than lamps.
What is wood veneer?
Wood veneer is mainly used for aesthetic purposes, designed to be an attractive and low-cost solution. It involves sticking thin slices of wood to a large, flat piece of wood using glue or adhesive strips.
Combining these thin slices of wood with larger pieces of wood helps to give the material a “superior” quality. At first glance, it looks like a single piece of hard, strong, and high-quality wood.
Where can you find wood veneer?
Because wood veneer is very fine, it’s easy to manipulate, and can be used to create all sorts of different objects, from S shapes, to lamps.
As a result, wood veneer is commonly used in decoration, to create cladding, marquetry, doors, furniture, parquet flooring and various other decorative elements.
Wood veneer comes in two main forms. You can buy the slices separately, and then stick them to wooden boards or furniture, or buy it as plywood boards.
Wood veneer lamps
Objects made from wood veneer can look truly spectacular. Many of the lamp designs you’ll find on the market are made using traditional carpentry methods. In fact, you can actually find many companies specialized in the creation of sculpture lamps.
Ceiling lamps
Ceiling lamps look amazing in rooms such as the dining or living room. Of course, it’s important to think about the dimensions, so that you don’t buy a lamp that’s excessively big, or ridiculously small.
As for the shape, you have a wide variety to choose from. There are curved ones with a modern feel and really stunning animal designs. LZF has a huge catalog of designs to choose from, among which you can find the following models:
