Woody
Ethimo | by Marc Sadler
Woody is the name that embodies the ‘substance’ of the new lamp created by Ethimo and Marc Sadler, a furnishing accessory with clean-cut refined design that brings suffused light to gardens and patios in the evening and expresses all its decorative strength during the day.
In a balanced ‘conversation’ between form and function, Woody is made entirely from natural teak (FSC certified), has a double warm LED bulb, cabled power supply and is 152 cm tall. Its unusual slender ‘tripod’ structure holds a shade with a volume dictated by the ‘rhythm’ of strips placed close together that filter and diffuse the light between their gaps, creating spectacular effects.

After completing his studies, he and a group of friends cofounded the Design Centre Premier, the first group of associate designers in France.
