Sconce 4572

Sconce 4572 by Natalia Landowska is part of Laminae (2026), a series examining the uppermost layers of the earth through ceramic and light. The work is produced by combining porcelain clay with paper pulp, allowing for increased scale and structural lightness, followed by multiple glaze applications and high-temperature firing.

The surface is built through successive layers that are partially eroded, fissured, or peeled back during firing. Glazes are blended and disrupted, producing variations that range from matte mineral tones to reflective, almost metallic passages. The light source is embedded within the ceramic body, diffused through the material rather than projected outward.

Across the series, Landowska treats light as a structural element, shaping perception as much as the ceramic form itself.

Artist

Natalia Landowska

Polish artist and designer based in New York, Natalia Landowska, works at the boundary of art and design. Trained in architecture, she moved away from normative constraints toward a practice driven by experimentation and material freedom.

She works with porcelain in plaster moulds, adding paper to produce shells of extreme thinness and lightness. Glazes are layered and mixed to create complex, unpredictable surfaces, each piece unique in both form and finish.

Her work questions conventional notions of beauty. Forms are deliberately imperfect; glazes may run or flake, edges fray. In these embraced fragilities, she seeks a subtle harmony between matter, light, and composition.

Light is central: it reveals the translucent zones of the porcelain, animates the textures, and generates a play of shadow and reflection that gives each work an almost organic presence. For Landowska, beauty emerges from strangeness, from imperfection.
