Rio Grande Lamp
Rio Grande Lamp
Our Hydro Collection is inspired by the grooves and patterns that waterways make through the landscape as seen from above. The layers of gradation in the pigment on the exterior of the vessels reference topographical maps. We take queues for our palette from the rivers for which the pieces are named.
Each lamp base is hand-cast with hydrocal plaster inside of a unique balloon shape. The interior of each piece is poured with layers of resin, impregnating the plaster with added strength and hardness. We have developed a unique process for pigmenting the exterior of the bases that is based on the technique used for marbling paper. Each lamp base is sealed with a UV resistant acrylic coating.
Our shades are made by hand using a heavyweight cotton rag paper and attached to a nickel-plated swivel fixture with a turn switch. An in-line dimmer switch on the cord provides adjustable light settings. Due to the nature of the UV sensitive materials in our lamp bases we recommend using LED lightbulbs exclusively.
