Truth, illuminated.
In a world of variables, you need a constant. In engineering, a Datum is the theoretical exact plane, axis, or point that defines the geometry of a part. It is the fixed rule against which everything else is measured.
This standing light serves that same role in a living space. It is not just a source of illumination; it is a vertical absolute. The design strips away the curve and the ornament, leaving only the X, Y, and Z axes.
The "floating" shade creates a tension between the heavy, grounded nature of the walnut frame and the weightlessness of the light. It is held in place not by magic, but by a precise structural suspension that mirrors the rigor of a suspension bridge or a crane.
The Datum does not blend in. It establishes the line.
Specifications:
Wood: Solid American Black Walnut (FSC Certified).
Finish: Hand-rubbed Oil & Wax (Satin).
Shade Dimensions: 10" x 10" x 24" (Rectangular Column).
Overall Dimensions: Height: 64", Frame Width: 14", Base Depth: 16" (Cross-base for stability)
Electrical & Hardware:
Socket: Solid Brass E26 (Standard Base).
Cord: 8 ft. Cloth-Covered Braided Cord (Black or Gold).
Switch: Foot-operated floor dimmer (allows for adjusting the "volume" of light).
Bulb Recommendation: 2700K or 3000K LED (Warm White), 800+ Lumens.
Availability: 4-6 weeks
We prioritize precision over speed. Because the Datum is built from solid walnut, the timeline includes dedicated periods for material selection, acclimation, and the settling of joinery. We do not hold inventory; every piece is made to order.
