Sconce 4053

Sconce 4053 by Natalia Landowska is part of Laminae (2026), a series examining the uppermost layers of the earth through ceramic and light. The form is developed through an additive process, with clay built up, altered, and partially reduced before firing.

Glaze is applied in thick, paste-like layers, then subjected to heat conditions that produce cracking, separation, and tonal variation. The final surface is uneven and stratified, with light interacting differently across each section. The internal light source is contained, producing a diffused and indirect effect.

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.
