Glazed Terracotta Lamp

Pouf are luminous elements in glazed terracotta, inspired by the forms and colours of deep-sea corals. Minimalist, the technique used gives a soft, light appearance to the material. The lamp is made up of very minute cylinders of red clay clustered together with white engobe. The material is then sealed with a shiny, transparent coating. The colour play in the finish recalls the effects of archaic Italian Majolica dating back to the 13th century.
