The Sentinel

Rhino Lamp

Grounded, watchful and resolute, The Sentinel is a sculptural lamp that embodies strength without aggression.

Hand-built from reclaimed cardboard or various types, and carefully selected pages from discarded dictionaries, this rhino lamp balances weight and stillness with a soft, ambient glow. Its solid form references the rhino as protector and path-maker — a presence that anchors a space while quietly holding its ground.

Each piece is individually made. Variations in surface texture, printed text and tone are intentional, revealing traces of the materials’ former lives and reinforcing the lamp’s one-of-a-kind nature.

Designed as a statement piece for living areas, studies or creative spaces, The Sentinel invites reflection on endurance, protection and the power of reuse.
