CLAM PENDANT
Something shiny, something new, something golden and we only made a few (small batches prove that hand craft design has its place). Designing any light piece which evolves from the usual materials (and formats), has to respect a practical principle: the light bulb needs to work, and light should shine through. Gimmicky design may prove photo-pretty and drive a few ohlalalas, but the truth is, no circus act can last long. As we are very keen at the Studio to keep it simple but magical, and always with a twist, we came up with an extraordinary idea which makes our Clam Pendants a bit of a standout.
If they look apparently simple, it’s because they are shaped by mimicking the form of the Cataplana pans typical of the Algarve region. And it is a testament to the incredible, experience-rich and craft maverick style makers who still make these by hand, expertly, slowly, that we made this series shine.
As the copper takes a beating, expertly transformed by hands who have been doing this for decades, step by step, stomp by stomp, what was once made to become a frying pan is now something completely different.
That’s what we call a golden nugget.
