lamp base terra cotta. Indonesia

The terracotta table lamp base, adorned with traditional Sulawesi motifs, is a centrepiece that combines ancestral craftsmanship with modern functionality. This creation is not only a decorative element, but also a living testimony of the rich Indonesian culture.
Made from high-quality terracotta, the lamp base has a naturally granular texture that gives the object a particular authenticity and warmth. The base colour ranges from soft terracotta to reddish brown, offering a perfect canvas for painted motifs.
The surface of the lamp base is richly decorated with iconic Sulawesi motifs, applied with artisanal precision. These geometric and stylized drawings include:

Spirals and volutes: Symbolizing the cycle of life, continuity and eternity.

Lozenges and chevrons: Representing protection, strength and connection with the earth.
The colours used for these patterns are usually natural pigments, offering shades of deep black, off-white, red ochre, and sometimes touches of mustard yellow or burnt orange. These colors contrast beautifully with the terracotta base, creating a visual harmony that is eye-catching.
