Tomas Kral’s terracotta lamps resemble flowers sprouting from pots, if the flowers were also clay. The bases of these light fixtures have been compared to flowerpots or milk bottles, but if those descriptions seem a little tame for you, we’d also observe that they resemble 40-oz. beer bottles. Kral made the lamps for PCM Design, a Spanish editions brand. Produced in Extremadura, the region in which the classic Spanish ceramic drinking jug was invented, this collection of lamps draws a connection between centuries-old tradition and Tomas Kral’s exquisite sensibility for materials.
Kral is a Slovakian-born designer who is based in Lausanne, Switzerland. Kral takes inspiration from tradition as he infuses his designs with unexpected ideas, humor and freshness.
