The BumBum Lamp takes its name from a childhood ice cream, one whose translucent wrapper, printed with a square grid pattern, captivated Anderson as a child for the way light passed through it. Decades later, that same quality of glowing, structured translucency became the formal and emotional starting point for a series of handshaped glass fiber lampshades, made using boat-building techniques.

Each shade sits on a glazed ceramic base, bringing together two materials with very different registers: one industrial and luminous, one slow and tactile. The lamps function as both light source and autonomous object, merging an architectural sensibility with a nostalgic, intimate layer of childhood memory. Despite their delicate appearance they are structurally serious, a tension Anderson considers essential. Most things worth keeping are stronger than they appear.
