A photo of a lamp constructed in olive green plywood

The fifth curiosity of my monastic engineering experience.

This is a combination floor lamp, book case, bedside table and charging station. Made from plywood and stainless steel if features exposed circuitry and wiring. Published on the side of the cabinet is the dimming software running on an Arduino nano. A 10cm diameter aluminium hand wheel controls the lamp dimming feature.
