This Designer Turned Her Quarantine Hobby Into a Full-Blown Collection of Lamps
Remember these paper pulp sculptures we posted about during quarantine last year? Austin-based Sarah Murphy’s trash-bin concoctions were full of personality and charming in their irregularities. A year on, the Texas-based jeweler has turned her papier-maché hobby into a full-blown collection of lamps, which are more refined but also more whimsical, with tiny bulbs emerging from monolithic structures and flat appendages bulging from the bases. The lamps are mostly monochromatic, with checkers and stripes thrown in for good measure, and include funny details like pullchains and finials in the same color and materials palette.
