Hand & Eye has taken their most popular shaped shade, slip-cast in earthenware, and added a semi-matt glaze to give it a lovely satin texture. This large and striking pendant light is available in three colours, all of which start with a white body earthenware clay to enable a purer glaze colour.
For their Chroma range, they chose ‘quiet’ colours creating a sense of calm and rooted in inspiration from nature: sand dunes, straw and raven’s feathers. Working with a glaze specialist they developed these into the Chroma Oyster, Mustard and Liquorice as a satin glaze, which is soft but retains some reflection. These three colours blend nicely together so they can be used in combination or in mono-chrome.
The lip of the shade has been left unglazed, so the natural earthenware white comes though, revealing the materiality of the shade and adding some contrast to the colour.
