Product description
This extraordinary vase lamp, newly assembled, is based on an original ceramic piece by Cari Zalloni for Steuler Keramik from the 1970s, model number 5101.
Cari Zalloni is one of the most influential designers of West German modern ceramics. For Steuler, he created iconic, architecturally inspired forms with clear geometry and intense glaze gradients. He also designed for Fohr, WMF, and Goebel (PAN Keramik). His sunglasses brand, Cazal, achieved international acclaim, particularly in the USA.
The base of this lamp is sculptural and powerful: three stacked, square elements with soft edges—an almost brutalist design language.
The glaze shimmers between petrol blue, turquoise, and deep blue with subtle color gradients—typical of Steuler in the 1970s and highly sought after today. A popular collector's item.
Object-friendly upcycling
The conversion to a lamp is carried out completely without damaging the object:
• no drilling
• no irreversible modifications
• original collector's value is preserved
The socket is anchored using an internal fixing system with a cork and clip. The base is weighted for stability. The opening is sealed with a high-quality brass plate, and the threaded rod is encased in brass.
Technology – wireless
This lamp operates wirelessly with modern battery technology:
• E27 socket
• rechargeable LED bulb
• warm white light
• RGB color options
• runtime up to 14 hours
• USB charging
• operation via included remote control
• no visible cables
• maximum freedom in room design
The cylindrical shade of Roomlight Studio is covered with a high-quality, color-intensive fabric. The expressive floral pattern in petrol, red, cream, and turquoise echoes the depth of the glaze and reinforces the 1970s character of the base.
Lighting effect: Warm, atmospheric, and striking.
As an accent lamp on a sideboard or console, it creates a powerful sculptural effect – especially when combined with the shimmering blue and petrol tones.
Dimensions: Base without socket 12 cm, with socket 19 cm, width/depth 9 cm, shade: 18 x 19 cm.
A true design object of West German Modernism –
reinterpreted, technically modernized, and solidly crafted.
