Equal parts carving and pattern, the Chawton Table Lamp begins as hand-carved wood shaped into crisp geometry, then takes its surface from the marbling technique developed for decorating paper in the fifteenth century. The swirls fold into each other across the facets, so a hard-edged form ends up looking fluid. It earns a spot where people look closely: a home office, a foyer table, a shelf in a reading room where the pattern gets time to be noticed.
