Zelie Table Lamp

The Zelie Table Lamp from Surya reveals unique mineral variations inherent to travertine, ensuring no two pieces are identical. Natural travertine forms the entire lamp body with its characteristic porous texture and subtle linear striations. Horizontal slots cut into the cylindrical form allow light to escape in precise bands, creating a rhythmic interplay between illumination and solid material. A practical rocker switch on the cord allows for easy operation without disturbing the lamp's pure geometric form. This piece exemplifies how restraint in design often yields the most powerful impact.
