Furniture designer Matt Downer lives and works in the Telluride region. At his shop in Rico, he repurposes fine wood into quietly elegant functional art. Last year, one of his benches was featured in the Ah Haa School for the Arts. This year, Matt worked his alchemy to create a fabulous floor lamp for the silent auction. The Paige Lamp, named for his brand new baby daughter, is 50″ tall and long, made of Shedua and steel with multiple counterbalance options. The light source is LEDs for max efficiency.
