The vertebrae table lamp is the first piece in a series (hopefully) of modular ceramic furniture. The concept was born from the desire to make large scale objects out of clay while limited by the material and a small shared workspace in Brooklyn. This project aims to demonstrate the warmth and strength of ceramic, a material often seen as fragile, and harsh. This lamp is still in a prototyping phase with hopes of working towards a production level model in the near future.
I imagine this object in a friend’s home. I love the idea of adding something positive to the lives of the people around me.
