Information
The Cantilever is a sculptural lighting piece that explores balance, tension, and material contrast.
A gently curved metal shade appears to float above the base, supported by a precise cantilevered structure and exposed connectors. The industrial framework pairs with a warm inner glow, creating a lamp that feels both architectural and refined.
Designed as a complete DIY project, it highlights mechanical elegance while remaining practical for modern interiors.
