Tidelines Pendant

Porcelain, Brass, Linen

Honourable Mention Lighting Category Vibrant Visions in Design (VIVID) 2020

The Tidelines Pendant explores the capacity of porcelain to achieve contrasting levels of transparency. The slip cast shade draws inspiration from the soft sand markings of a retreating tide by harnessing a flaw of the slip casting process; an inconsistent pour results in irregular marks, known as ‘tidelines’. The pendant encompasses an element of surprise. Unlit, the sleek dome seamlessly blends with its surrounds; its unique variation of layered transparency is only revealed once illuminated. The pendant creates both a warm ambient glow and directional downlight through the fine porcelain. Each is hand poured, thus unique.
