Roundup: DIY Branch Lighting

We love the variety of ideas for creating lighting fixtures from branches that have been cropping up on AT. The chandelier above is from the Moormann Berge hotel in Denmark and could be easily replicated as a DIY. We've collected the other options for creating your own lighting fixture from branches here.

This light fixture is created by bending Mitsumata branches.

Even though Cherry Blossom Branch Lights aren't made from branches (but made to look like branches), we couldn't resist including them!


If you're looking for the perfect branch for your project, Nettleton Hollow is a great resource.

Love the idea of using branches for lighting. Is anyone familiar with Bobo's? it's a company selling "to the trade" only, but there are many stores featuring their products. They make some great lighting using rustic wood and rust iron. Beautiful stuff. http://www.bobointriguingobjects.com.
