14%

Porce­lain ce­i­ling light

The co­ver light 14% is poe­tic con­ta­ct with a very cha­rac­te­ristic ma­te­ri­al pro­per­ty. In the gla­ze firing at 1.400°, the shards melt to a whi­te and very hard porce­lain. In so doing, it shrinks by 14% of its ori­gi­nal si­ze. By gla­zing the porce­lain it fa­des gent­ly away at the edge and gets a “gent­ly-​wa­s­hed” sur­face. Fur­ther, soft porce­lain shards can con­tort in the fi­re.
This fea­ture is an unhap­py one for the porce­lain in­dus­try be­cau­se it can lead to high ra­te of porce­lain re­jects, es­pe­cial­ly with com­plex sha­pes. The ma­te­ri­al cha­rac­te­ristic of the porce­lain lamp gains by 14%. Re­gar­ding the ce­i­ling light, 14% is every screen that is a cast of the pre­ce­ding lar­ger screen and was its­elf a cast mo­del for the fol­lo­wing smal­ler screen. Be­si­des the chan­ge ra­te of 14% whe­re­by each screen is smal­ler than its pre­de­ces­sor, the­re is with every re­pro­duc­tion a re­sul­ting loss of con­tour as well as a gain in con­tor­ti­on of the form. Thus the first and the­re­fo­re lar­gest lamp­sha­de is still sharp and ex­act in its sha­ping. Howe­ver, the fifth cast looks gent­ly wa­s­hed and con­ta­ins no con­tour.
The other­wi­se dis­li­ked at­tri­bu­te of the porce­lain in the fi­re, when it pulls and de­forms, was chal­len­ged with the chan­ge in 14%; ge­ne­ra­tes an ex­citing al­most or­ga­ni­cal­ly
loo­king al­te­ra­ti­on in the porce­lain screens of the light and re­fers to the histo­ry of pro­duc­tion.

The ce­i­ling light 14% is hand­ma­de and a li­mit­ed edi­ti­on. Pri­ce on de­mand.
Lamp: Ha­lo­gen, low vol­ta­ge
