Umbra Pendant By Rory Pots

$1,795.00

Named for the darkest part of the shadow, the umbra pendant pieces successively get smaller, leading the eye to the bulb's soft light. Located in the umbra of the piece, the bulb is dark until illuminated by you. A play on light and dark, and our perception of their absence, the umbra pendant is simple, sculptural, and welcoming.

This pendant was constructed with raw stoneware clay and has an unlacquered brass canopy and rod. The drop length and metal finish can be customized, including powder coating.

Rory Shamlian is the owner and designer behind Rory Pots. She started this business with the desire to work with her hands and design freely. Her relationship with ceramics began as a source of grounding during the deep winters of Vermont, and quickly became an all-consuming study of design and craft. From apprenticeships and studio assistantships with high-level ceramicists, to years of independent study, Rory Pots was born.

Shamlian’s lighting and object designs are heavily influenced by her years working as a vintage lighting technician. Her work is made completely by hand and everything is repairable from the electrical elements to replacing the ceramic components. When investing in her work, you’re acquiring an heirloom, meant to last in aesthetics and function for generations to come.
