Phokaia Table Lamp

Phokaia carries a copper cone on a jointed stone body that recalls a bamboo stalk. The body is cream travertine, and the stone's natural pores and small voids show on its surface. There is a single joint ring in the middle, and a small round knob sits low on the side of the body. The shade is brushed copper, and its inside is the same colour. It takes its name from Phokaia, the ancient city at Foça in İzmir; it is a model newly drawn for Archilumos. The copper shade holds the light and passes it down as a warm tone. The travertine body is lit softly from below. The pores catch dust; take it off with a dry brush and wipe the stone with a damp cloth. Copper may darken with time. It stands on a living room table, a bedroom cabinet or a reception counter. We set the travertine tone, the copper finish and the size at order.
