Objects worth
keeping.

Le Rouge Label is the interior collection by Elemntz. It brings together our own designs,
one-off pieces and vintage objects we’ve selected for their materials, craftsmanship and character.

I started with a cardboard tube and a piece of clay. I pressed the clay onto the tube with my thumbs, building up the surface a little at a time. Some areas I smoothed out. In others, I left the ridges where one piece of clay met the next. Those uneven edges became part of the shape I wanted to keep.

I scanned the clay model so I could use that shape as the starting point for the lamp. That let me work out how the light and cable would fit inside while keeping the contours I’d made by hand.

The lamp is still in development. I’m now working on a metal finish and looking at how it catches the light along those ridges. That’s the detail I’m most curious to see in the finished piece.
