Product description
Bay Keramik Series 62 – Brutalist Vase Lamp with Designer Shade
This accent lamp embodies the distinctive design language of German ceramics from the 1970s – here, it is transformed into a striking, unique piece with a modern, handcrafted lampshade.
The lamp base is an original vase from the rare Bay Keramik Series 62, model 62-17, designed by Bodo Mans. This series is among the most impressive examples of German Brutalist ceramic design. A characteristic feature is the deliberate contrast between the rough, almost stone-like surface and the glossy glaze. The vase was fired at particularly high temperatures, giving the unglazed ceramic its distinctive, coarse-grained texture – a consciously employed design element.
Within Series 62, numerous variations exist, featuring different shapes, sizes, and glazes. This model combines the natural ceramic with a deep, dark red relief glaze.
The handcrafted lampshade measures 20 x 20 cm and is made of high-quality designer fabric featuring stylized cranes. The graphic pattern harmonizes beautifully with the striking ceramic and creates a particularly lovely effect when the light is switched on. The fabric is pleasantly translucent, allowing the motifs to glow softly while simultaneously creating a warm, atmospheric light in the room.
Dimensions:
Total height: 39 cm
Vase: 17 cm
Lampshade: 20 x 20 cm
Technology – cordless & flexible:
The lamp is powered by a rechargeable LED bulb, which can be charged via a USB-C cable. It provides up to 12 hours of light. The bulb can be purchased separately for approximately €12. The LED bulb is suitable for outdoor use – ideal for balconies or patios. The lamp is also available with a power cord upon request.
An exceptional accent lamp that combines Bodo Mans' expressive ceramics with modern textile design, making it a distinctive and unique piece that enhances any room.
