Description/

The iconic Puru table lamp has a soft gradient light effect and an elongated, bubblegum-colored, glass sphere that appears as if it is being blown out of the ceramic base. The piece embodies the inherent qualities of mouth-blown glass by materializing the glass blowers breath in an archetypal bubble form, and by ultimately creating a moment stuck in time.

The idea for Puru Lamp came from testing opaque glass colors, and the gradient effect that results from the thinning glass towards the top of a blown shape. All of the pieces for this lamp are hand-made with care in Finland. Thus, each lamp may vary slightly in color, form, and size.

Please note that while the default electrical parts are for the EU, customizations are possible for the USA on request.

This custom-made-to-order piece will be created in the designer’s studio once the purchase is complete. Due to its bespoke nature, a Design Miami/ client services representative will be in touch with the estimated production time and expected ship date.

Erin Turkoglu

designer

Erin Turkoglu is a Helsinki based artist and designer, working with the subtlety of material and color. She works in her Helsinki studio with a hands-on process mainly with ceramic materials. Inspired by architecture, poetry, and most importantly the making process itself, she creates otherworldly objects that exist somewhere in-between art and design. She takes cues from archetypal forms, industrial processes, and merges them with experimental materials and new approaches to her chosen medium. Erin's work investigates her subconscious relationship to color and form in order to weave narratives through objects that exist somewhere between art and function.
