custom pendant lamp

YES, I've sold my first lamp. On Esty. And it's a custom one. It has to hang from the ceiling, so I had to make it with a ceiling cover in stead of a plug.

A while ago I came across this picture on, of course, Pinterest and I was in love. At the time I couldn't get to the source of the picture.

Esmé is one of the few left in the Netherlands who practices basketry on a high level. She collaborates with designers a lot to create new products with traditional techniques. Her passion lies with fine skein willow work, this is a very fine basketry technique. Willow skeins are being cloved in three parts and then planed by hand on a special planingbench.

I love these cups and vases made by Mauk Studio. Manon Maatje is the designer and maker. She got inspired by PVC pipes and parts and turned the raw forms into beautiful ceramic objects. I'm still doubting a bit between a white or a black vase, but I'm going to make my decision soon.         Mauk Studio Etsyshop         April and May
