This handcrafted Surprise! Porcelain Table Lamp in red by Sarah Tracton is a luminous masterpiece. It combines one-of-a-kind artistry with functional elegance. Meticulously handcrafted in Melbourne using 100% Australian porcelain, iridescent red hues, and locally sourced materials, it embodies sustainability and innovation. Designed by Good Design Award-winning artist Sarah Tracton, this piece celebrates the natural beauty of porcelain through a multi-stage process that highlights its unique nuances.
When unlit, the lamp’s sleek, minimalist white surface exudes understated sophistication. Switched on, it transforms into a radiant light sculpture, unveiling intricate layers of iridescent red that emit an otherworldly glow—a nuance achievable only through the human touch.
Sarah’s process begins with pouring porcelain slip onto a plaster slab to craft architectural clay sheets. Each sheet is then shaped, rolled, hand-sanded, glazed, and slowly dried before enduring two firings at 1280°C. The result is a seamless blend of fine art and functional design.
Made with a zero-waste approach, this lamp not only reflects artistic excellence but also a commitment to sustainability. Every element, from the LED strips to the electrical components and hardware, is locally sourced to minimize environmental impact. A true celebration of Melbourne’s craftsmanship and Sarah Tracton’s visionary design.
This lamp can be customized to work in any country.
