Never Enough Lamps: Ceramic Edition
I mean, we can never have enough lamps, right?
Look, some people have said that I have a problem when it comes to lamps. I strongly object to this because you and I both know, that it is totally normal to have seven lamps - minimum - in a living room. I’m looking at the lamp situation objectively (and by objectively, I mean that I’m right about this).
I don’t see it as a problem that I keep buying more lamps either. On the kitchen bench, at the entry, outdoor portable lamps - I just can’t get enough of the personality they give a space. Not to mention loads of atmosphere and mood.
See, I told you I don’t have a problem - I am managing my lamp addition just fine.
And so that’s why I’m sharing my latest finds, specifically ceramic lamps. You see, I grew up in a ‘country style’ decorated home in the 80s and that meant lots of terracotta lamps. So these lamps are so homely and comforting. The way a fabric lamp shade glows just emits the lovelist, warmest light.
Emma Table Lamp from Danny Kaplan Studio. This studio is located in a Brooklyn studio where their skilled artisans also create large scale ceramic pieces such as furniture and vessels.
Elio Lamp by Jan Vogelpoel and Retro Print Revival. I adore the work that Jan Vogelpeol creates and what a clever collaboration! Turning a sculpture into a functional lamp is genius. Love these. They are made in Melbourne.
These sculptural lamps are so original. Sarah Nedovic is a Melbourne based creative with pieces coveted by interior designers.
Another beauty by Danny Kaplan Studio in Brooklyn.
Ceramicah is a Los Angeles ceramics studio founded by partners in work and life and their lamps are sublime. Have a look at the range, it’s all gorgeous.
Kassandra Thatcher is an artist working in LA across ceramic, plaster and metal. Her pieces are sculptural and so interesting.
It’s my goal for EVERYONE to have as many lamsp in their homes to experience the life-changing qualities. And this is the great thing about lamps, no matter the cost they all emit a beautiful glow.
This Nadia Ceramic Lamp from Castlery has a glazed base that is partly unglazed. It’s only $149.
West Elm are a great go-to for affordable lamps, slightly more ‘grown-up’ than some Ikea lamps and yet a little ‘younger’ than Pottery Barn. The Diego Olivero Chamber ceramic table lamps start at $299.
This is another great find from West Elm that I think is easy to mistake for a one-off handcrafted piece. The Lola Table Lamp is $199.
Milk & Sugar always have really well-priced, cute pieces. The Tuck Ceramic table lamp in straw is $164. What a cutie.
The stripe adds a subtle detail, the Pecan from OZ Design is on sale for $149.25, the RRP is $199.
The Scoop Lamp x Analuisa Corrigan is a very sweet ceramic lamp available in some lovely pastel shades made in USA and is USD $199.
Here are just some awesome favorite lamps that you need in your life!
Am I glad to find this brand Emporean! Colour, pattern and loads of personality and fun! This one, the Mattina Moderna Ombrellina lamp is just gorgeous with a subtle stiped peach and white base made in Portugal and a lampshade made in France.
The Senso Large table lamp by Kelly Wearstler is edgy and cool. From Montauk Lighting based in WA and shipping all around Australia.
The Bonnie Table Lamp by McMullin & Co has a simple elegance and interest is created by the contrast of the shiny glazed ceramic base and linen shade.
The Natura Lamp in Medium is from Tigmi Trading and made to order - that means you can see the different sizes and colours that it’s available in.
Another Kelly Wearstler lamp, this one is the Phoebe Stacked table lamp, which would suit a more traditional space, as well as contemporary.
I love the whimsy of the Caramella lamp, again from Emporean. Pure joy!
Layer up your living spaces, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, hallways, everywhere! Enjoy!
