This lamp combines a wooden base with a clear acrylic panel etched with the iconic “Hamsa” hand motif, a symbol believed to ward off evil and protect against misfortune. Blending traditional spirituality with modern design, the motif incorporates lively imagery of turtles, camels, fish, and rabbits, infusing the piece with vitality. Created by Studio Cheha in Israel, the lamp uses optical illusion and light projection to give the flat engraving a three-dimensional effect. When illuminated, the Hamsa appears to awaken, radiating its blessings in a design that is both artistic and playful.
