Puzzle Solved, and a Lamp Is Born

Puzzle Solved, and a Lamp Is Born

The N1R table lamp by David Nosanchuk, a New York designer, started as an experiment in two-dimensional shapes. "I was interested in using lines and drawings to generate a series of horizontal and vertical plates that would come together and create this 3D puzzle," Mr. Nosanchuk said.

The digitally fabricated components are laser-cut from a flat sheet of frosted acrylic according to Mr. Nosanchuk's AutoCAD files, and then assembled around a frosted glass tube with a three-watt LED at its center.

The $3,500 lamp is currently on view at the South Street Seaport Museum, as part

of the "Made in New York" exhibition. Mr. Nosanchuk also produces other light fixtures, including sconces and chandeliers, using the same system. Information: (212) 481-8144 or nosanchuk.com.
