Tom Rossau TR7 Table Lamp, Natural Birch Veneer, 26.8 in

The TR7’s twisting birch column, lowered onto a stand so the glow sits right where you live: on a sideboard, desk or nightstand.

The TR7 table lamp was redesigned in 2023 with a new stand that brings the birch shade closer to the surface it sits on. The result is a 26.8"-tall column of hand-assembled birch strips that hides two bulbs and glows warmly through the veneer. It suits a sideboard, a console or a large nightstand, and looks like a wooden sculpture in daylight.

About the designer

Tom Rossau grew up in Odsherred, the curving coastal landscape north-west of Copenhagen that has drawn painters for generations, and his first lamps appeared in 2005. Every Tom Rossau lamp is still built by hand in the company’s own workshop on Frederiksberg Allé in Copenhagen, by a single lamp builder who signs the card that comes with it.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the TR7 table lamp gives a sideboard the same sculptural presence as a piece of studio ceramics, with the warmth of real birch.

Buy once: durability and care

Dust the birch strips with a soft, dry brush; keep the lamp away from water, steam and humid rooms, because moisture softens the veneer and can make stained colors bleed. Like all natural wood, the birch slowly develops a patina and may shift its shape very slightly over the years: Tom Rossau calls it a living material. Tom Rossau covers manufacturing defects for 2 years. Have a licensed electrician install hardwired fixtures.
