MADE IN ITALY FLAMING SWORD Floor lamp made of partially burnt tree trunk, covered with a cascade of epoxy resin on a natural stone base. While I was walking in the middle of a forest destroyed by a fire, I saw this piece of trunk with this very particular shape that makes it look like a sword. This trunk, left partially burned, gave me an incredible feeling of strength, and my creative mind did the rest. The trunk was first treated with an odorless antibacterial of the latest generation, and then left to stand in the absence of air for a month to eliminate any form of microorganism in it. Subsequently it was covered with a mixture created by me of tung oil and wax, to maintain the original colors of the trunk unaltered and at the same time protect it over time. Then I inserted an amber-colored led strip inside a natural wooden slit that makes it look like the wood is still burning. Finally I covered the lamp with a "cascade" of transparent epoxy resin, managing to let the resin dry exactly when it came down from the trunk to create a "loose" effect. The total height of the floor lamp is 110cm, the base length is 28cm. For any doubt or further photos are at your disposal.
