Design Philosophy
1. Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic
- Philosophical Roots: Drawing on the traditional Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi, this lamp features a “Wabi-Sabi” crackle glaze that evokes the beauty of natural decay..
- Mediterranean Influence: The Mediterranean blue oxide finish (Pantone 18-4053 TCX) reflects coastal landscapes, blending rustic charm with refined minimalism.
2. Architectural Geometry
- Bottle Silhouette: Inspired by Etruscan amphorae, the 41×24cm square base tapers elegantly to a 76cm height, creating visual tension between solidity and lightness.
- Layered Detailing: Three distinct horizontal bands (12cm/20cm/28cm) emphasize structural rhythm, while the 36×23cm lampshade adds vertical flow.

- Kiln Firing: 12-hour wood-fire cycle at 1,250°C for organic crackling
- Iron Aging: Electroplated with Fe₂O₃ followed by 72-hour salt spray oxidation
- Surface Treatment: Beeswax polishing for tactile texture
- Acoustic Damping: Rubber grommets at base joints for silent operation
- Quality Control: 14-point inspection including weight distribution and seismic safety
