Hand-crafted mood lighting object.
Burned clay.

Following the Japanese process of Raku, this clay object is buried in sawdust concluding the second round of firing. The wood shavings thus burn in a vacuum, wherein carbon particles bind with the surface of the clay and lend it a dark, metallic sheen. The simplistic, shell-like form of the lighting object emphasizes the mysterious, fascinating character of the object resulting from this process. A cursory glance is not sufficient to recognize the material.

Size: 16.6 x 28.5 cm
