Meduse
Meduse is a sculptural lamp inspired by marine habitats. Each piece combines Raku ceramic with blown Murano glass tentacles. The lamp is suitable for indoor and outdoor use and creates light and shadow effects on nearby walls. Multicolored LED lighting can be adjusted with a remote control. The ceramic body is modeled in refractory clay, dried, fired, glazed and fired again at 930 degrees Celsius, then removed from the oven while still hot. The resulting thermal shock creates a crazed surface with metallic and iridescent reflections.
