Epoxy in a New Light: 8 Lamp and Lighting Projects

Airport lounge with orange chairs arranged around small metal tables, each with a glowing epoxy resin lamp.. The lamps feature translucent rectangular resin blocks with diffusing light, positioned near large windows overlooking the runway.

Epoxy lighting captures the relationship between light, material, and craftsmanship. Instead of relying on traditional fixtures, these designs use resin to shape how illumination behaves—bending, softening, or scattering it through color and suspended textures.

Each project in this collection transforms epoxy into a functional sculpture, from small desk lamps that glow like crystal formations to resin lanterns that bring subtle vibrance to commercial and creative spaces. These aren’t just lamps; they’re studies in how light interacts with form, showing the artistic range possible when transparency and design meet intention.

This handcrafted epoxy floor lamp turns a quiet living room corner into a place of warmth and character. Its shade—cast in resin and layered with pressed flowers and ferns—filters the light into soft botanical tones that complement the greenery nearby.

The twisted wooden base adds an organic contrast to the modern setting, and subtle reflections on the window hint at the gentle rhythm of evening light. It feels personal, handmade, and perfectly balanced between craft and comfort.

Light You Can Learn By Making

Epoxy lighting doesn’t have to be complex or out of reach. Many of the projects in this list began as simple ideas—small casts, basic molds, and a few pigments mixed with curiosity. You don’t need a studio full of tools to create something remarkable; even a beginner can pour, sand, and polish a piece that feels one-of-a-kind.

Every lamp or lantern is a chance to explore how resin interacts with color and light—how depth, texture, and clarity transform with each pour. Start small, experiment with what inspires you, and let practice guide your progress.

The glow of your first finished piece might surprise you—it’s proof that craftsmanship starts with trying, not perfection.
