Are you looking for an individual and honest light fixture at a fair price?
I am Martin Lembcke. In my workshop in Constappel – Klipphausen, my lamps are created through a process that demands patience, respect for the material, and artisan precision.
Curved solid wood
Each individual light contains many hours of pure handwork. The distinctive, solid wooden arch is not simply cut – it is carefully bent into its elegant shape under steam. This process gives the wood tension and dynamism.

Highlights
Idea
Light creates atmosphere, wood provides security.
Through the traditional process of steam bending, we gently shape solid wood—without artificial gluing or laminating..
Craftsmanship
The central design element of the lights - the curved ring made of wood - requires a elaborate manufacturing process.
High-quality materials and components distinguish my products.
Individuality
Each light fixture is a unique piece and is handcrafted.
The artistic process consists of combining various materials that vary the basic shapes.
Steam
Bending wood is an ancient craft technique that was primarily developed and used by carpenters, wheelwrights, or boat builders. It produces hardly any waste compared to sawing.
The characteristics of the material are preserved.
Shape
After steaming, the hot wood is bent around the forms. After cooling, the wood must be clamped and dried for up to 14 days. Only then will it retain the desired shape.
Each piece reveals a unique character of its own.
Time
The liveliness of the wood leads to the fine differences that we perceive as natural. This places high demands on the subsequent construction. Each connection is handcrafted.
Thus, each serial number creates a unique piece.
