Shell 21 P red

Shell consists of an encasing shade – a stoneware shell – that directs the light downwards like a spotlight. Inspiration for the shape comes from Japanese pots and simple clay and ceramic bowls. The slight protrusions at the upper top of the shade are the only ornamentation, also emphasizing the suspension of the lamp from double wires.

Engobe has been applied to the outside of the shade to produce a matt, slightly textured surface. The colours are also inspired by the natural tones used by potters producing utility ware.
