Drawn to the paradox between natural forms and manmade shapes, Charles de Lisle designed the Linden by drawing inspiration from a cherry blossom branch. Reimagining the twisted leafless form in very human, simple geometry, the Linden series utilizes extruded hexagonal brass conduit as its central building block. The faceted structure playfully recalls early computer graphics, mimicking a video game tree. To initially produce the Linden, de Lisle looked to bicycle construction for a way of creating joint angles on the hexagonal form. The system of connections he developed allow for a series that includes hanging fixtures, table lamps, floor lamps, sconces and flush mounts. Sitting on three hexagonal legs, the Linden Tripod is a robustly proportioned table lamp and features a perforated brass plate under the shade that shields the bulbs from sight. Available with a paper or wicker shade.
