This brass edition of Alter follows the same alchemical logic as Studio Kaytar’s aluminium version: sand-cast solid metal spheres paired with a beeswax-coated flax linen shade, drawing on symbols associated with the unity of matter, spirit, and energy. Here, the linen shade is also plant-dyed with ceriops before being coated in wax, so its colour comes from a natural, hand-applied dyeing process rather than a synthetic pigment — any inconsistencies in tone are part of that process rather than a flaw.
Each sphere is hand sand-cast and left raw, so the ripples and pitting from casting are visible by design; brass will develop its own patina with time, and a high-quality metal polish can restore its original shine if wanted. The waxed linen shade will form its own crease marks when pinched or ruched, and gently warming it with a blow dryer softens the wax again, lifting its scent and evening out the texture.
The lamp includes an E27 custom pin plug linen cable cord with an inline on/off switch; let the studio know your country so the plug can be matched to it.
