Lumino Porcelain is a series of porcelain lamps and shallow vessels cast at a thickness of up to 2 millimeters, allowing light to pass through the material itself. Each element is mounted on a 3D-printed base containing the light source, making the object both a functional lamp and a sculptural artifact.
The project explores the limits of porcelain as a material — particularly its often-overlooked translucency. Thanks to its crystalline structure, porcelain can conduct light when cast thin enough, while still retaining strength and stability.
The inner surface of each piece contains shallow reliefs, while the outer surface remains clean and minimalist. When the lamp is turned on, due to the varying thickness of the material, hidden images emerge from within. This difference in translucency allows the visual content to appear only when the object is active, making light a key element of the narrative.
The project examines the interplay between digitally generated supporting structures and traditional ceramic techniques. The fusion of handcrafted forms and contemporary technology highlights the potential of an interdisciplinary approach to designing luminous objects and challenges conventional perceptions of fragile materials.
