The Setsuko Lamp Base rises from a stepped square foot on a bobbin-turned column, the surface overlaid with a raised lattice, its crossing diamonds catching the light like a length of garden trellis thrown over the form. The texture softens the line of the ceramic, giving what should read as hard and turned a woven, almost pliant character.
Designed in collaboration with Japanese ceramicist and painter Setsuko Klossowska de Rola, known for bronze and terracotta work celebrating animals and the natural world. Part of the Setsuko Collection, the lattice here drawn from the garden rather than the animal forms seen elsewhere in the range.
Paired here with a Fermoie round gathered shade in Green Wicker, handmade in England from sheer linen and lined in cotton. Once lit, the light comes through the linen softly, and the green wicker pattern picks up the lattice worked into the base below.
