Lucent Pendant by Sarah Tracton is a fusion of fine art and functional design. This red and orange vertical pendant light is powered and suspended by a Good Design Award-winning groundbreaking system of near-invisible slimline wires, eliminating visible cabling and creating an effect of mid-air buoyancy.
To achieve this light’s remarkable diaphanous effect, artist Sarah Tracton has mastered a unique technique of pouring porcelain slip onto a plaster slab, then heightening its luminous properties by adding iridescent colors, which results in exquisite celestial translucency when internally lit. Its lit surface reveals unique one-of-a-kind idiosyncrasies, embracing the intriguing variations inherent in the handcrafting process.
These photos capture the light’s stunning transformation from breakage to repair with 18K gold leaf. The pendant undergoes a striking metamorphosis when damaged. Embracing the ethos of repair, recycle, and reuse, this ancient process transforms shattered porcelain into functional art. The repaired scars, highlighted by golden veins, become illuminated reminders of resilience and beauty in imperfection.
