FAQ
Is this a one-of-a-kind piece?

Yes, this is a unique piece and part of a limited-edition series called The Ancestors, so no two are identical.

What is the lamp made of?

It combines clay-coiled terracotta and stoneware with rattan weaving, blown glass, and metal elements.

Does the piece include a light bulb, and can it be dimmed?

The data doesn't specify the bulb type or dimmability — the maker can confirm, use Chat with the maker on this page.

Will the material change or age over time?

Yes, the materials are left uncoated on purpose so the terracotta, metal, and rattan age and develop patina naturally.

How is the lamp packed and shipped?

It ships in a crate, and shipping is insured and covered worldwide.

Can I return this piece if I change my mind?

Yes, a 14-day return policy applies since this is not made-to-order but an existing unique piece.

How do I know the piece is authentic?

It comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Can I ask the maker questions about installation or wiring for my country?

Yes, use the Chat with the maker option on this page to ask UAU directly.

Description

The Ancestors is a limited-edition light collection, each piece a unique, goddess-like sculpture meant to be viewed from every angle. The series was developed as a collaborative project with weaver Denise Berekmeri, built over two years of research into raw materials — clay, metal and wicker — chosen as much for their durability as for how they age over time, without any coating to slow that natural process.

Using old techniques like clay coiling, multiple cylinder-like shapes are stacked on top of one another to form three stand-alone totemic sculptures, each one woven through with rattan and shaped around light, evoking a mythical being from the past: Thulani the quiet one, Nightjar the bird of night, and Badru, born on a full moon.

This piece is Thulani.
