THE SCULPTURAL NARRATIVE
“Guided by ancient methods, alchemist-potter Tenshin Juba creates modern, functional, and decorative ceramics from his home-studio in the quiet mountainside of Kobe, Japan. This exceptional matching Set of Two Pendant Lamps highlights a rare, highly collectible departure into fine studio porcelain. Finished in an incredibly soft, watery pale blue mineral slip, the delicate porcelain walls offer a beautiful structural contrast to Juba's traditional heavy stonewares, allowing a subtle, warm translucency to glow through the ceramic body when illuminated. [1]
Every piece is intentionally hand-formed rather than cast, resulting in an organic silhouette where subtle, natural irregularities serve as the true signature of the artist's hand. Outfitted with standard brass hardware that can be easily customized or retrofitted by a licensed electrician to match existing room finishes, this unique pairing bridges everyday utility with a powerful sculptural presence. Hung as a symmetrical duo over a central kitchen island, flanking a master bedside console, or grounding a minimalist dining space, they introduce commanding texture, ambient light, and character to modern interiors. [1]
— This Porcelain Pendant Lamp Set brings a versatile, dual-purpose presence suitable for both architectural lighting and high-design display. For more on the artist's studio practice, read the full story in the Chariots on Fire Journal.”
