From forest to home: the journey of wood gaining new life.
Share
There are pieces of wood that go unnoticed for decades.
Branches that fell after a storm, tree trunks that reached the end of their life cycle, pieces that the tide pushed to the shore, fragments that time left forgotten in the woods. Materials that would rot, be burned, or simply disappear without leaving a trace.
At LAMS Woodcrafts, we see something in these woods that many no longer see:
Memory. Future. Essence.
Our work begins where the forest concludes its role. We collect these fragments from nature, from rivers, from the sea, from the leftovers that the world discards, and we give them purpose again. Each piece that reaches our hands already carries a whole life engraved on it: marked veins, deep cracks, knots that speak of the tensions of time, marks that bear witness to the passing of the seasons.
None of this is imperfection.
They are natural signatures. They are character. They are truth.
In the studio, we treat each fragment with respect. We clean, cut, prepare, choose the best framing, and let the wood suggest its final form. We don't force symmetries, we don't erase scars, we don't feign perfection. The drawing is born from the story that is already there.
And that is how wood, once destined to disappear, finds a new life.
It transforms into a decorative piece, an artistic object, a lamp that shapes light and atmosphere. It doesn't spring from nothing—it is reborn.
When a LAMS piece enters a home, it carries with it fragments of nature, memory, and time. It also carries the idea that what has already been lived continues to have value and can illuminate again, now in a different way.
Each light bulb is a second life.
Each piece is a story that continues.
LAMS Woodcrafts uses exclusively reclaimed wood — fragments collected from nature, the sea, or forests — transforming them into lighting and decorative pieces with a new life.
