<\/p>\nLighting fixtures come in every shape and form, and are very much a reflection of an individual\u2019s style ambitions. Adding a lamp or chandelier to a room can improve the look and feel of the space exponentially. GroovyStuff, an inventive lighting company, utilizes reclaimed teak wood to produce their new line of lighting fixtures to debut in early 2010.<\/p>\n
Recently, Home furnishings manufacturer Groovystuff announced the introduction of the Antares Lighting Collection crafted from branches and roots of reclaimed teak. Pictured below are a few pieces designed by the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about ambiance and shadowing,\u201d said Groovystuff Vice President Chris Bruning. \u201cThe teak branches are already beautiful. We stack, bundle and layer the limbs, sculpting pieces that are earthy, ancient and modern all at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n
The line celebrates the natural shapes, tones and textures found in reclaimed teak \u2014 limbs are assembled horizontally, planted vertically and even woven into spheres. The Antares Collection includes pieces personally designed by Groovystuff co-founder and designer Chris Bruning and bears his unmistakable style and influence. Chris\u2019 vision renders each piece remarkable \u2014 whether straight, curved, solid, hollow, smooth or rough. \u201cWe\u2019ve created a beautiful line of lamps which complement the earthy look of our product line while working nicely with a more contemporary d\u00e9cor,\u201d said Bruning.<\/p>\n
The fourteen lamps in the new line include bleached and dark finishes. Designs include styles with and without shades.<\/p>\n
