Simone No. 1 Black Amber

Simone No.1 in Glazed Amber is a meditation on material and light, its fluid silhouette shaped to cradle illumination with quiet intensity. The gently undulating lip lends a sense of movement, as if the form has been softened by time and touch. In its curvature, the piece holds a glow that is both contained and diffuse, casting a subdued radiance that shifts with the environment.

Encased in a high-gloss amber glaze, the surface reveals a dynamic interplay of depth and translucency. Along its crest, the glaze thins into warm, honeyed translucence, while deeper recesses settle into a smoldering, near-black richness. The glaze moves unpredictably in the firing process, creating organic variations that enhance the sense of fluidity and depth.

As both sculpture and light source, Simone No.1 exists in dialogue with its surroundings, responding to shifts in light and shadow with a quiet, mercurial presence. Its materiality resists uniformity, embracing the natural irregularities that make each piece singular. At once grounded and luminous, the sconce inhabits a space between function and contemplation, its form revealing itself slowly through time and perception.
