AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional three-flame pendant lamp by the ceramic artist Heidi Guthmann-Birck from Denmark.
The lamp consists of three individually crafted ceramic shades with a strong, warm rust-brown glaze and creamy, freely flowing patches. Numerous mounted ceramic rings, small openings, and tubular elements give each of the three shades its own sculptural character.
The lamp is especially appealing when switched on: the light from the bulb not only shines downward but also appears through the numerous small openings in the ceramic. This creates many individual light points and an atmospheric play of light and shadow. The plastically designed openings thus themselves become an essential part of the design.
The three ceramic shades hang together on a long wooden bar, forming an impressive sculptural lighting installation. Due to the artisanal craftsmanship, the individual shades differ in the arrangement of their plastic elements and perforations.
Heidi Guthmann-Birck worked in Denmark as a ceramic artist and ran a ceramic workshop together with Aage Birck. Her works represent experimental Nordic studio ceramics, where material, plastic form, and glaze constitute a significant part of the design.
