Story
Fabric crease, ceramic form
Ceramic is a ductile, malleable material, and every lamp is handcrafted. Fusing the clay with different enamels let Xavier Mañosa discover and interpret new light effects. The inside has two finishes: a brilliant white enamel that creates sparkles to enhance the light, and a 24-carat gold plated version that emits an extraordinarily warm light.
