Samuel Wilkinson’s first lamp for &tradition takes inspiration from antique ceramics, old glass pieces, lenses from vintage lamps, lighthouses, even a mirrored bottle to study the way the light comes from it. The quilted texture of the glass derives from studies of seeds and the raspberry.
A statement standalone item or a decorative cluster, the two versions cater to a range of interiors, with the sandblasted variant providing a subtle, sophisticated glow, while the translucent transforms the space it inhabits with the intricate textures and patterning. Smaller size also available.
Samuel Wilkinson graduated in furniture and related product design at Ravensboure College of Art & Design in 2002.
