Bellingen

Crafted from camphor laurel timber sourced locally from the Bellingen Shire in New South Wales, the Bellingen celebrates the beauty of Australian hardwood. Its sculptural, vase-like base is turned from a single piece of timber, with rich honey grain, a crisp camphor scent and a natural hard wax oil finish that repels water and dirt. No two are quite alike.

The base is paired with a choice of shade: a handmade cotton shade for a soft, downward light, or a hand-blown glass shade in green, amber or frosted, whose gently pleated glass scatters a warm, candlelit glow. Every part is user replaceable, so shades can be changed and the lamp kept for years.

It is a quietly sustainable piece, too. Camphor laurel is an invasive species in northern New South Wales, and the Bellingen is made from timber rescued and handcrafted rather than left to be cleared.
