Bay Keramik Table Lamp "Bodo Mans" - Cordless Design Lamp from West German Pottery
This small handmade table lamp was upcycled from an original Bay Keramik vase from a design series by Bodo Mans. The vase lamp was fitted with an elaborately crafted lampshade made of high-quality cotton fabric. The combination of the characteristic Mid-Century relief ceramic and the large-format leaf motif of the shade fabric creates an exciting contrast between vintage design and contemporary textile design.
The vase, with the base mark or shape 570 / 17, comes from one of the most famous series by Bodo Mans, whose designs are still among the most popular works of West German Pottery. In particular, his expressive relief decors were trendsetting for this era. This is also true here: The strong turquoise-blue glaze, the sculptural medallion relief, and the striking cylindrical neck shape with a handle give this ceramic its unmistakable character.
The lampshade was handcrafted in our Berlin workshop and covered with a translucent cotton fabric. The botanical motif in petrol, turquoise, green, and mustard tones harmonizes perfectly with the glaze of the vase. When switched on, the fine lines of the fabric stand out particularly beautifully and create a warm, cozy lighting atmosphere.
Gentle conversion into a lamp
The vintage vase was converted into a lamp in our workshop without drilling and with a removable plug-in solution. This preserves the original ceramic completely and its collector's value is maintained. The lamp base was additionally weighted to ensure a secure stand.
Cordless lighting
The lamp is equipped with a rechargeable LED light source that is conveniently charged via USB-C. The battery life is – depending on brightness – approximately 6 to 12 hours. Brightness and light color can be individually adjusted via the included remote control. This allows the lamp to be used flexibly on sideboards, windowsills, shelves, dining tables, or even on balconies and terraces – completely without cables.
Dimensions: Lamp overall 36 cm, vase 17 cm high, 10 cm wide, shade 18 cm diameter x 18 cm.
The light source is a standard model and can be easily replaced at any time if necessary.
A handmade unique piece from Berlin – made from an original Bay Keramik vase by Bodo Mans and a custom-made lampshade.
