Story
Four days by hand
A Beat shade is hand-raised, welded, beaten and skimmed over four days, and the original hammer marks stay on each one. Because the work is done by hand, every shade is a one-off.
Vessel shapes
The shape is drawn from old Indian water vessels, and from brass cooking pots too; the hand-beaten golden inside refracts a warm, ambient light.
