Description

The Fado wall lamp is conceived as an object that extends beyond its functional purpose, becoming a sculptural presence on the wall. Designed and handcrafted by Joana Vilaça Studio, it explores the relationship between form, colour, texture and light, revealing the expressive qualities of glazed ceramic and the traces of the handmade process.

The name Fado refers to the traditional Portuguese musical genre, characterised by melancholic melodies and lyrics expressing fate, longing and saudade. This emotional dimension informs the character of the piece, bringing a subtle cultural reference into a contemporary design language.

Each piece is individually handcrafted and glazed, allowing for subtle variations in surface, colour and finish. Custom glaze colours are available upon request.
The ceramic shade is supplied without a bulb, socket or electrical wiring. Requires a separate electrical fixture and wall mounting hardware
