New in the Studio: The Manta Ceramic Lamp
All News

We are happy to share a new piece from the studio — the Manta Ceramic Lamp, a wall-mounted ceramic light inspired by the calm movement and elegant silhouette of the manta ray.

This model was created as both a decorative wall object and a functional source of light. From the beginning, we wanted it to feel light, flowing, and alive — something between marine sculpture and atmospheric lighting.

How We Make It

The general body of the lamp is created through clay casting in a plaster mold. This gives us a strong and clean base for the form and allows the main silhouette of the manta to remain precise and balanced.

After that, all of the details and surface decoration are finished by hand. We refine the edges, work on the surface, add texture, and develop the decorative pattern manually, so each piece carries a handmade character and its own small differences.

For lighting, we selected a G9 LED corn bulb, which gives a warm, even glow and works well with the internal volume of the lamp. One detail we especially like in this design is the power cord — it was intentionally integrated so that it visually reads as the tail of the ray, becoming part of the composition rather than something separate.

Why This Piece Matters to Us

It has been especially приятно to see how much people responded to this decorative ceramic wall lamp. The reaction to the manta has inspired us to continue developing this series further.

The next model we are planning is a stingray, and we also want to explore other varieties of rays as both ceramic wall decor and handmade ceramic lamps. For us, this feels like the beginning of a new line of ocean-inspired pieces that can grow in different directions — from lighting to sculptural decorative objects.

The Manta Ceramic Lamp is one more step in our ongoing work with marine forms, handmade ceramics, and functional art. It brings together casting, hand-finishing, lighting design, and our love for the sea in one object.
