motley wood floor lamp

Motley III is designed by Samuel Chan for Channels, British, London based design firms. Motley III is series of ten furniture and lighting designs.

The series explores new geometric and organic forms and reflects Samuel’s signature purist style. Inherent in his approach is an ability to understand the ongoing potential of wood in new design. His work presents wood in a bold and simple way that requires no further embellishment. The designs demand the most exacting hand-finished craft while introducing new manufacturing processes – so giving this most traditional of materials a strong contemporary expression.
