"Snag"

Every collection has the piece that doesn't follow the pattern. In the fishing collection, it's Snag.

The other three pieces are clearly rods — recognizable silhouettes, reel mechanisms, gooseneck arms. They share a defining feature: spinning the reel turns the lamp on. Snag takes that vocabulary and rearranges it. The reel is still there. The shape is still recognizable. But the mechanism is gone — Snag uses a key switch instead of the reel, the only piece in the collection that does. The rule the other three pieces share is exactly the rule Snag breaks.

The live-edge slab is the most striking of the four, running from a charred dark base to a pale, almost luminous natural edge at the top. A brass gooseneck arm extends from it with an Edison bulb at the tip. A counterweighted ball hangs on a pull chain. A crystal prism catches whatever light is nearby.

It's less about function on the nose and more about what happens when the pieces find their own arrangement.

All antique lamp parts. No welding, bending, or solder. Wall-mounted. The fourth piece in the fishing collection — and the one that got away from the brief in the best possible way.

The reclaimed wood base of this piece was sourced from Natural Kinships, a small family-owned mill in Bend, Oregon. The family — a father and two sons — fell trees themselves, mill them at their own shop, and turn them into countertops, tabletops, and live-edge slabs. Sean has worked with them for years; over time, they began setting aside cuts specifically suited to his work. Every Natural Kinships base carries a piece of that story.
