Lucas Huillet - Table lamp - Stoneware

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

White stoneware has that almost silent density that I love. It catches the light without the brightness of porcelain, with a soft matte, a little chalky, almost mineral feel.
On this base, I applied a drop-effect glaze, a glaze that does not cover, but that lets the clay breathe. It beads, slides, and sets in surface.
This contrast, between matte and shiny, between rough and precious, is what I am seeking. A surface that is never fixed, that continues to move with the light and the gaze.

Working 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 emerges is an organic form, slightly unpredictable, always singular.

Each piece is unique, shaped and glazed by hand in my workshop. The hand-painted decoration may differ slightly from one piece to another.

Trained at Camondo School in design and interior architecture. This academic path opened doors to collaborations with prestigious houses and institutions.
In 2018, he created his studio as a space of exploration where ceramics, interior architecture, and object design intersect, based on expertise in working with natural materials, allowing the creation of unique pieces that 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 carry meaning and authenticity.

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