British designer Ewan Cashman has created a cement and wood floor lamp based on the shapes of spinning top toys he played with as a child. It features a circular white base that tapers to a point, attached to a long slender wooden body. The base is composed of hollow concrete, and provides the weight and balance that allows the lamp to be rotated 360 degrees – as a spinning top could be. A strip of LED lights is housed in the lamp’s body and covered in light diffusing plexiglass. The light’s cement and wood sections are joined together with a hollow steel rod used to transfer wiring as well as reinforce the structure.
