Spotted at Llot Llov, a Berlin-based design studio, a lamp with a quirky wooden-bead cord. We were instantly enamored and had to try our hands at our own version.
Above: The Earl Lamp by Llot Llov is made with 18 wooden beads; the last one has an embedded LED and a silicone shade; €528.
Above: The Earl Lamp has a hook to allow adjustments in the lamp's height and direction.
Above: My version, which is a bit more rustic; I started with an inexpensive pendant light from West Elm.
