The delightful details of the Swirl Lamp come from the repetitious composition of several fins made from bend wood. Designer Igor Solovyov cuts the alder veneers into paddle-like forms and gently curves them, giving the finished product greater dimension when a dozen of them are bunched together.
There is a delightful delicacy to the appearance of the apparently twisting lamps. They are reminiscent of dancers' skirts as they pirouette across a stage. To enliven them further, Solovyov enhances the lovely curling petals with the application of green or pink paint on the insides. When you look straight at a Swirl Lamp, it will appear to be half bare wood and half tinted for a wonderful accent to these accenting pendant lamps.
