Shroud is a table lamp composed of ribbed glass. The object is built from three stacked glass elements, each subtly different in dimension, forming a stepped vertical profile defined by repetition, alignment, and proportion.
At the centre of the composition sits a concealed light source. As light passes through the layered glass, the ribbed surfaces filter and diffuse it, allowing the material to actively shape the character of the illumination.
The lamp’s appearance shifts with changes in light and viewpoint, alternating between transparency and density.
