About the Item
A striking pair of handmade studio pottery lamps by Lewis Trimble, featuring his signature ‘Spore’ design rendered in the intricate nerikomi technique. Each lamp is fitted with six internal candelabra sockets and equipped with a dimmer switch on the cord, offering versatile lighting control.
The nerikomi process—a labor-intensive ceramic method originating from Japan—involves stacking, slicing, and layering differently colored clays to create complex patterns embedded throughout the clay body. These patterned clay sheets are then skillfully hand-built into the lamps’ hollow forms, reflecting both technical mastery and artistic vision.
Japanese craft traditions, with their emphasis on natural materials, refined techniques, and subtle textures, have deeply influenced 20th-century modernism. The simplicity, material honesty, and organic forms central to Japanese ceramics resonated with modernist artists and designers worldwide, inspiring a renewed focus on craftsmanship and form. Trimble’s use of nerikomi exemplifies this cross-cultural dialogue, marrying centuries-old Japanese methods with contemporary design principles.
Trimble’s lamps are distinguished by their organic, textured surfaces and subtle monochromatic palettes, embodying principles of organic modernism through their natural forms and tactile presence. The careful craftsmanship and innovative use of nerikomi set these lamps apart as sculptural lighting fixtures that merge function and art.
Ideal for interiors seeking unique statement pieces, this pair offers both visual intrigue and refined illumination, bridging traditional craft with contemporary design.
