Ceramic Workshop

Handmade porcelain lampshades

According to traditional methods, the lampshades are made of ceramic with great care and by hand in a workshop in Berlin / Wedding.

After the mold is carefully removed,
the fragile blank can be peeled off

The lampshades are fired, glazed and
finally fired again at 1250 degrees.
They consist of the very translucent
Soft porcelain Mont Blanc.

First, a mold made of plaster is made.
After this has dried, it is completely filled with porcelain casting mass.

The plaster withdraws moisture from the mass and after a few minutes a fine, ever thicker wall forms. The excess material is poured off.

By hand, small bumps
are carefully reworked.

As part of a funded project, people with disabilities take over the safe and precise processing of cables and sockets of our lamps.

The assembled sockets
are labeled and prepared
for shipment.

The individual cable ends
are professionally provided
with ferrules according
to VDE regulations.

Using a multimeter,
all lampholders
are checked for proper wiring.
