Simple joinery product design
The joints of this handcrafted task light by Israeli industrial designer Asaf Weinbroom comprise strips of walnut veneer clamped round the oak base and head.

The lamp is part of a series of four designs combining wood with brass, copper and Corian that Weinbroom presented at an exhibition called Fervency during Jerusalem design week last month.

Giben has a flat baton in the middle like a wooden ruler joined by two wooden disks – one in light wood to match the stem and the other in a darker tone to match the base.
The Corian Bra lamp (above) features copper arms with the joints, head and clamp in Corian, while the Long light (below) has a clamp that’s simply a wooden rod inside a brass tube.

Here are more details by Asaf Weinbroom:
I chose to design a series of table lamps because a table lamp is the most intimate lamp physically closest to the person using it.

In addition there are plenty of options for technical Joints and movement which were always a great source of inspiration for me.
Above: Corian Bra
For the Jerusalem design week exhibition “Fervency” currated by Tal Gur last month, I chose to design a series of four table lamps.
Above: Corian Bra
The series show tests and experiments of technologies, mechanisms and surprising combinations between wood and various materials.

Brown - adjustable table lamp with laminated veneer hinges casing the base and head of the lamp. Materials: White Oak and Walnut wood

Giben is a playful table lamp with a childish appearance. Two axes allow the tuning of the lamp to all directions. Materials: Ash and Walnut wood.

Corian Bra table lamp is attached to a surface, a shelf or desk, with a wood screw. This lamp is a development of my earlier “Bra” version; I switched the brass pipes with copper pipes and added the corian. Materials: Ash wood, corian and copper pipes.

Long Light is an attached to surface lamp. I developed a clasp allowing a tight grip of the lamp to the surface due to the friction between the wood and the brass pipe. Materials: Maple wood and Brass pipes.
