The Terracotta Lamp brings to light the beauty of traditional planter pots. Rustic, natural and full of character, terracotta has a way of brightening up a home even with the added bulb inserted within it.
Created by Switzerland-based designer Tomáš Král, the Terracotta Lamp are also very simple, allowing them to fit into virtually any living space. Funny enough, it is actually made out of red ceramic, giving it the illusion that it is real terracotta. Considering how much more people are appreciating more organic objects that are nonetheless sturdy enough to last a lifetime, I shouldn't be surprised.
Available in three versions and various sizes, the Terracotta Lamp can sport one, two or three bulbs. The Terracotta Lamp was photographed by Federico Berardi.
