Spotted (and admired): a new ceramic pendant light that puts creative use to cloth-covered electrical cord. Inspired by nautical ropework on moorings, the design is the work of Rotterdam-based industrial designer Patrick Hartoq.
Above: Available through Folklore in London, the Cable Lamp is made in Holland of slip-cast white earthenware and cable tied through a sturdy metal ring; $255.75 each. Folklore ships to the UK, Europe, US, and Canada. For more on the shop, see Folklore in London: Style Plus Sustainability.
Above: A groove in the ceramic shade allows for the cable to be wrapped and re-wrapped according to desired dimensions for hanging.
Above: The shades are unglazed and measure about 5 inches by 9 inches; the cloth-covered cable is approximately 78 inches long.
Above: Lamp cables can also be customized in different lengths and colors by contacting Folklore directly.
