The Alpha combines rustic timber, illuminated glass and eye-catching X-ray artwork to create an inventive table lamp. The base is made of upcycled wood from dismantled half-timbered houses in the Black Forest. The timeworn surfaces and historic tool marks of the untreated wood make each luminaire unique. The glass panel, embedded in the base, shows an X-ray image of a three-dimensional table lamp while a concealed light source illuminates the image.
