A long, ribboned cast, stood on end like a core sample.
Douglas Tower is the longest piece in the line: hand-blown glass cast in a bench-length strip of Douglas-fir bark, lit from within by a warm low-voltage LED, dimmable at the wall. It stands on its own foot; the cloth cord exits low and takes whatever set you give it.
Blown and cast by hand in a natural mould. Dimensions, colour and texture vary from the photographs; no two pieces match, including yours.

Story
The Tower is the longest piece we make, cast from a strip of bark that ran the length of the bench.
It stands with a slight twist, so the light moves up it as you pass.

The light
A warm low-voltage LED sits where the cast runs thickest. The glass does the shading: thick sections go deep and quiet, thin sections go bright, and the bark's texture decides which is which.
It is house light, not task light. Hang it low over a table or alone in a hallway and let the wall carry the glow. It is happiest at dusk and after.
There is nothing to maintain. Dust it when you think of it.
