Aldo Lamp, 2019

The inspiration for Ian Bromley’s Aldo Lamp grew out of response to the brief for his Fine Furniture Course. The brief, to deliver a curved project. After testing steamed timber and not finding an idea he was happy with, Ian’s wife joined some of his test pieces together, and feeling like they had stumbled across a unique design, the lamp evolved.
