Lucas Huillet - Table lamp - Stoneware

This lamp is part of a new series born from the desire to return to forms I appreciate, after having worked on the wall sconce. I wanted to explore them at a different scale, in a luminous, sculptural, and functional object.

White sandstone has that almost silent density that I love. It captures light without the porcelain's shine, with a matte softness, a bit chalky, almost mineral.
Based on this, I applied a drop effect enamel, a type of enamel that does not cover completely but allows the earth to breathe. It beads, slides, and sets on the surface.
This contrast, between matte and shiny, between raw and precious, is what I seek. A surface that is never fixed, that continues to move with the light and the gaze.

Working with stoneware at this scale also means accepting that the material evolves and transforms during firing. The initial drawing becomes an intention, never a certainty. What results is an organic form, somewhat unpredictable, always singular.

Each piece is unique, handcrafted and hand-painted in my studio. The hand-painted decoration may vary slightly from one piece to another.


About Lucas Huillet:
Trained at the Camondo School in design and interior architecture, this academic path opened the doors to collaborations with prestigious houses and institutions.
In 2018, he created his studio as a space for exploration where ceramics, interior architecture and object design intersect around expertise in working with natural materials, allowing him to design unique pieces, which are both everyday objects and works in their own right.
Today, the studio continues to combine artisanal tradition and contemporary innovation, with the aim of creating objects that are meaningful and authentic.

Lucas Huillet's creations have been exhibited at Paris Design Week, Collectible in Brussels, and Dubai's Al Shindagha Museum.
