THe number 8 Lamp
a personal pendant lamp
It can be packed and shipped in a 36x26x8 inch box with minimal tool free assembly.
So it can move in with you, move out with you, and stay with you for years.
As a student I have found myself apprehensive to investments in my home as they are often not ideal to move around with me. I built this lamp to be able to outlast my frequent relocation and remain renter friendly without requiring hardwiring.
Designed for mobility
