‘expanding lamp’ by erik stehmann

taking cues from the principles of the hoberman sphere and how it contracts and increases in size, erik stehmann‘s ‘expanding lamp’ has the ability to enlarge from a desk to standing floor version through the simple push and pull of its components – hundreds of connections and hinges made from oakwood.
