chimney lights are hand thrown clay pendant lights with gloss white glazed interior
designer benjamin hubert has sent us images of his new work chimney which is a collection of hand thrown, kiln fired clay pendant lamps manufactured by viaduct. produced in a pottery studio in wales, the lamps utilize the natural clay of the region. using traditional hand thrown techniques, each lamp has its own character with a textured finish which is a contrast to the gloss white glazed interior. the collection of lights are being presented at this year’s 100% design london.
