“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss

The story of the Zigzag lamp bases:

Brian’s father David Culy was a Tutor in Cabinet making in the 1950’s, and was himself a master craftsman.

Many a weekend was spent by Brian reluctantly working for his dad in the shed at home, manufacturing lamp bases to sell to places like Kirkcaldie & Stains in Wellington.

So it is ironic that today we have taken a prototype lamp base that brian’s fathers produced in the 1950’s and given it new life.

The original prototype was the Small zigzag table lamp, but by using the internal, proportional calculation of the nautilus shell, brian came up with the a stretched standard version.

So now we have the Zigzag small and the Zigzag tall. They are made from the most sustainable timber we could find , New Zealand renewable pine. turned and totally manufactured in NZ
