DEW
CERAMIC Table LAMP
FURNITURE DESIGN
2025, Individual Work
Dew is a ceramic table lamp inspired by the quiet beauty of a morning droplet. Its rounded glass orb rests gently atop a donut-shaped ceramic base, echoing the moment when light first meets the day. A soft glow settles into the ceramic embrace, bringing warmth and serenity to any space. Like dew on a petal, it invites stillness and reflection.
The Subtle Glow of Form and Material
Light gently reveals the curves, colors, and textures of this design, where textile surfaces and carefully chosen hues create a soft, ambient glow. Glossy, matte, and textured finishes are presented in different configurations, each offering a distinct way of shaping light and shadow.
Refining Through Experimentation:
From Form to Finish
The process showcases a journey of hands-on experimentation to achieve the most refined result. It begins with 3D prototyping to test proportions, followed by plaster mold making and careful calculation of shrinkage rates. Each piece is smoothed to perfect the surface before selecting and testing various glazes. To understand how firing conditions influence the outcome, some pieces were fired in oxidation while others in reduction. Each step is guided by close observation and thoughtful adjustment, allowing the final form to emerge through a balance of intention and discovery.
