The Ellipse Oak lamp, handcrafted by the renowned Danish Kirk Studio, is a testament to Brian Kirk’s dedication to merging nature-inspired design with functional elegance.

For over 20 years, Kirk has been celebrated for his innovative, artisan approach, creating lighting that embodies the serene beauty of Scandinavian craftsmanship.

Inspired by “komorebi,” or the dance of light filtering through leaves, each Ellipse Oak lamp is made from FSC-certified oak veneer arranged in graceful slats that diffuse light, creating a warm, indirect glow alongside a direct downlight.

Available at kirk-studio.com in various sizes, the Ø120cm x 60cm High model is perfect for making a grand statement.

I chose this larger size for my house in Denmark, where its thin, delicate layers bring a unique charm.
Brian Kirk himself came to install it, ensuring its perfect placement.

This oak lamp isn’t just lighting—it’s a piece of art that embodies Nordic design, elegance and sustainable craftsmanship.
