Cordless Table Lamp made of Cari Zalloni Ceramic – Cityscape Collection | 36 cm
This exceptional table lamp is part of the Cityscape Collection by Roomlight Studio and combines iconic German ceramic design with contemporary textile design. The lamp base was created from an original ceramic vase by Cari Zalloni, whose designs for Steuler Keramik are now among the most important classics of West German Pottery. With their sculptural, stacked forms and architectural clarity, his objects still appear astonishingly modern today.
For the Cityscape Collection, this very design language is further developed. The handcrafted lampshade takes up the geometric forms of the ceramic and translates them into a colorful skyline of skyscrapers, facades, and urban structures. The dense city motif evokes pulsating metropolises and creates an exciting contrast to the minimalist form of the vase. At the same time, a design connection is created, as both the ceramic and the textile design thrive on clear cubes, stacked volumes, and architectural lines.
The intense red glaze of the vase gives the lamp a powerful presence. Together with the luminous shade, a design object is created that uniquely combines Mid-Century design, Pop Art, and contemporary textile design.
The lamp is operated cordlessly, allowing it to be flexibly used wherever atmospheric light is desired – on sideboards, windowsills, bedside tables, bookshelves, or as a decorative eye-catcher on the dining table, balcony, or terrace.
The rechargeable LED light source is conveniently charged via USB-C and offers – depending on the selected brightness – a lighting duration of up to 12 hours. Brightness and light color can be individually adjusted via the included remote control – from warm white mood light to neutral white. The light source is CE-approved and can be easily repurchased if needed.
Like all lamps from Roomlight Studio, this unique piece was converted with particular care. The collector's value of the original Cari Zalloni vase is preserved, as no drilling was done. The reversible plug-in solution allows for restoration to its original condition at any time. The lamp base is additionally weighted and ensures a secure stand.
