Arm Lamp

If you have three small-ish chunks of wood, some rubber bands, paper, and a light bulb, then you can make your own articulated desk lamp!

Articulated desk lamps are somewhat complex mechanical objects that require an industrial context to produce, given the usual components of factory made metal parts, springs, screws, and cast plastic elements. I wanted to design a version of a desk lamp that could be produced in completely non-industrial contexts, with only naturally available materials and resources–excluding the light bulb and wiring itself, sadly.
