The Armadillo Lamp is an ambient lamp that creates a sense of calm and serenity with its warm orange light filtering through a translucent lampshade. The shade’s organic shape is formed by a series of semi-transparent overlapping circles inspired by the segmented shell of an armadillo. The flickering light and occasional fluttering of the layered elements add a mystical atmosphere.
The overlapping design mimics the armadillo’s flexible armor that allows movement and curling, enabling the lampshade to bend and shift gently, enhancing its organic character. The shade sits on a wooden base that symbolizes the armadillo’s life connected to the earth, reinforcing the design’s natural theme. The power cord is wrapped in white rope to soften the contrast with the rest of the lamp. Excess cord can be tucked under the base, maintaining a clean look and reducing the risk of tripping.
