About this Product
The shape of the Michigan Left table lamp is inspired by Michigan’s unique intersections, which are known locally as “Michigan Lefts.” Instead of a standard left turn, we make a right turn, followed by a U-turn - hence the lamp’s U-shaped design. Whether our interesting intersections improve traffic flow is up for debate, but there is no debate about the Michigan Left lamp - it’s a beacon of warm, inviting light that stands out from the crowd. The Michigan Left lamp creates a beautifully unique silhouette that adds a modern bent plywood touch to your bedside, next to the couch, on your desk, or anywhere you need some warm, inviting light.
Each lamp is handmade in my Leonard, MI studio. Its modern, minimal aesthetic is courtesy of the hand-layered bent plywood construction which creates a stronger yet lighter material than solid wood. I start out with 13 layers of sustainably-harvested wood that I glue, layer, mold, trim, sand, and finish by hand, so each one is impeccably made and completely unique. Natural cork feet keep the lamp from sliding or rocking + protect your table from scratches. The matte oil finish creates a rich, natural look that’s durable and is water- and stain-resistant. It’s applied by hand to ensure complete coverage, optimal thickness and a durable hand-rubbed lustre, so the Michigan Left will keep its gorgeous good looks for years to come.
The standard cord color is black, but select "other" for your cord color and leave me a note if you have another color in mind.

Ciseal
Meet the Maker
Ciseal was inspired by the Midcentury Modern architecture and design that’s so prevalent in and around Detroit. The thoughtful, functional blend of nature and the modern, clean lines of these buildings influenced me to create my own designs using the natural material and modern method of woodlayering.
Ciseal began in 2013 with a few layers of wood veneer, a bottle of wood glue, a handmade mold and some clamps. Those ingredients made my very first product - the Ray iPad Stand. Ciseal has been growing steadily ever since - supporting my design habit one bent plywood product at a time.
I proudly design and make all of my products by hand from sustainably-harvested wood in my Leonard, Michigan studio. Each Ciseal product is inspired by the beautiful state of Michigan, and thoughtfully vetted through countless hours of research, design, and crafting. The finished products I offer are the result of many iterations and fine tuning for comfort, usability, and style. The quality of my products is in the details: the intentional curves, the hand-layered, sustainable wood veneer, and the ease of use.
Ciseal is an Irish Gaelic word for layer. It's pronounced KISH-ill by the Irish, but I've taken to pronouncing it sis-EEL
Woodlayering is my craft, but as a person, I'm always learning, growing, and evolving. Ciseal is about how we layer the trappings of life in a way that uniquely speaks to our soul. It’s a way of life, a mindset that focuses our attention on finding and embracing all of the layers that matter so that we are free to take our pleasure seriously.
