lucas huillet - Table lamp - Stoneware

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

The white stoneware has that almost silent density I love. It catches light without the shine of porcelain, with a soft matte, a bit chalky, almost mineral.
On this base, I applied a drip-effect glaze, a glaze that does not cover, but lets the earth breathe. It beads, slides, and hardens on the surface.
This contrast, between matte and shiny, between raw and precious, is what I’m after. A surface that is never fixed, that keeps moving with the light and the gaze.

Working stoneware at this scale also means accepting that the material evolves and changes during firing. The initial drawing becomes an intention, never a certainty. What emerges: an organic form, slightly unpredictable, always singular."

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