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 the wall lamp. I wanted to explore them at another scale, in a luminous, sculptural, and functional object.

The white stoneware has that almost silent density that I love. It catches the light without the glow of porcelain, with a soft matte, a bit chalky, almost mineral.
On this base, I applied a droplet-effect glaze, a glaze that does not cover, but lets the earth breathe. It beads, slides, then sets 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 according to the light and the gaze.

Working the 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: an organic form, slightly unpredictable, always singular.

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

About Lucas Huillet:
Trained at École Camondo 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 for exploration where ceramics, interior architecture, and object design intersect around an expertise in working with natural materials, enabling the creation of unique pieces that are at once everyday objects and complete works of art.
Today, the studio continues to combine traditional craftsmanship with 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, and Dubai’s Al Shindagha Museum.
