Through the repetition of a simple two inch wood part, a complex textural surface is developed. Taking cues from knitting, the assembly technique is based on a simple analog script that allows the maker to influence the process. As opposed to digital generation of form the decisions of the maker are critical to the final outcome of the piece. Each piece is ultimately a one of a kind fabrication.

The surface of the Squeeze Lamp remains elastic allowing the end user to control and change the form of the lamp. The shape can be expanded or contracted to alter the way light escapes. Thus the design remains a work in progress.
