Stump Lamp

Wesleyan University College of Design and Engineering Studies
IDEA292 — Interdisciplinary Project Lab, Fall 2026

Crafted from poster board, architecture paper and glue, this lampshade is made up of concentric rings of laser-cut paper, stacked and offset intentionally to create the darker rings of a cut tree trunk. The outermost ring features tabs scored at the edge that are glued to the outside ring of paper, giving the lampshade sufficient structure to support itself on the supplied light boards.
