Baso clay lamp by ia kutateladze dimensions: w 30 x h 34 cm materials: raw black clay “playground for salvation” was created entirely during quarantine, in my berlin studio. The stillness of the lockdown enabled me to experiment and challenge myself to create bigger, more intricate functional objects, lighting and furniture pieces from ceramics. The collection is inspired by the microscopic images of molecules and cells. Realizing, that every living organism in the nature, even if it is a harmful one, could be beautiful. It is an exploration of a very intimate, personal battle of an artist and a human being in a surreal moment. An act of creation as a salvation and a victory. Completely hand-built from black clay, with elements of paint. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution, up to 250v (europe/uk standard).
