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 striking Striped Edition of his classic Ceramic Pendant Lamp pairs an intimate architectural profile with a series of bold, hand-painted linear stripes wrapping around the exterior facade. Tenshin gathers natural raw materials from his immediate landscape—including chestnut husks and mineral-rich rocks—turning them into custom liquid glazes that he applies with precise, freehand momentum.
Every piece is intentionally hand-formed rather than cast, resulting in an entirely organic silhouette where subtle, natural irregularities serve as the 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 fixture bridges everyday utility with a powerful sculptural presence. Whether suspended independently to illuminate a quiet corner, clustered above a kitchen island, or grounding a minimalist dining space, it introduces commanding texture and character to modern interiors. [1]
— This Ceramic Pendant Lamp 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.”
