Are you looking for a new way to decorate your place that doesn’t seem like the same old uninspired pieces of art hanging on a wall? I mean, sure a painting or two is nice every once in awhile, but it seems like everybody and their mother is all about modern art. What about something that you could take room to room on a moment’s notice, without having to worry about upsetting the current room’s decor? Sounds pretty good, right? What about if it was small enough to be ultra portable but big enough to occupy a vast amount of wall space? That’s what you need, for sure.
The Lumen Tree (Generate Design, $59.00) is perfect in that capacity because it’s functional art. I mean, just think about all the possibilities you have with a piece of art that can easily be moved from place to place, yet still retain its essence. At a height of only half a foot tall, this stainless steel oil lamp projects soft shadows on the wall when lit. The size of the shadow can manipulated by moving the oil lamp closer or farther away from the wall and the flickering flame allows the shadow to move about organically. Each odorless paraffin fuel cell burns for 17 hours, and with a four pack of fuel cells included, you should be set for quite awhile.
Besides the day to day artistic qualities of this oil lamp, wouldn’t it just be so cool to have for special occasions? I mean, just think about how cool it could be for a Halloween party to create an indoor haunted forest. I’m all about awesome Halloween parties.
4 out of 5 stars.
