Dezeen Showroom: designer Zoe Stark and lighting brand Tala have released a London-informed lamp that recalls the shape of the Victorian chimney pots that "punctuate the city's skyline".
Named after Hampstead Heath in the north of the capital, the Heath table lamp has a stocky, tubular body that is finished in a single rich glaze named Port Red.
It is crowned by a tapering, quatrefoil-shaped shade made out of natural cotton, whose curved lobes reference the raised ring-like details of the base.
Heath is the first product in Tala's catalogue that is made in Portugal, selected for the country's prowess in making earthenware ceramics, from which the base is made.
The LED lighting element can be brightened and dimmed as needed, allowing the lamp to function anywhere from a task light to a soft mood lamp.
"Heath is a study in familiarity," said Tala. "Designed in our East London studio, its form is drawn from the tall Victorian chimney pots that punctuate the city’s skyline."
