Originally created for our Patreon in 2025, the Hyphae Tea Lamp is inspired by the intricate branching patterns of leaf veins. Each one is laser-cut from stainless steel, then hand-formed into a cylindrical shade using tiny nuts and bolts. The result is a tiny sculptural lantern that transforms a simple tea light into a glowing forest of shadows.

There are three distinct versions of the design; yours will be a surprise. Every lamp comes with a tea light candle, ready to illuminate your table or windowsill.

Fabrication
Made in the USA from heavy-gauge stainless steel. The flat-cut patterns are bent into shape and assembled by hand. The finished lamp has a satisfying weight and a sturdy presence, designed to last for years of glowing evenings.
