About this project

Lune is a desk lamp made from a single piece of solid hardwood, turned on a lathe in our Portland workshop. There are no switches: turn the top to switch it on and dim it, from a candle glow to full reading light.

The light is warm and flicker-free, and the LED lasts about 25,000 hours. The cord is wrapped in braided fabric and can be replaced.

We’ve made 300 Lunes by hand for local customers. This campaign pays for a CNC lathe and our first production run, so we can make them for everyone who’s asked.

Risks and challenges

Wood varies, so no two lamps look exactly alike. The CNC lathe we’re buying has a 10-week lead time, which is already built into our delivery estimate. Our electronics are certified for the US, Canada, the UK, the EU and Australia.

Rewards are made after funding, so delivery dates are estimates. If a creator can’t deliver, they’re expected to explain why and try to make it right, but refunds aren’t guaranteed.
