Torre Lamp Series 2011
Torre Lamp Series, designed and handmade by Rachel Amy Rochford in 2011 for Red Fire Innovations Limited.
The Torre Lamp is slab built from clay found in Trinidad and Tobago. This stoneware lamp series, by design, is unglazed with the intention to reveal the natural deep red colour of the clay from Central Trinidad. This distinctive colour is the result of the high iron content of the clay. Torre Lamps are fired to a temperature of 1240C / 2262F, in an electric kiln, higher than usually done by the potters in Central Trinidad. Each Torre Lamp casts a warm glow due to the combination of rope lighting and translucent acetate diffusers. The Torre Lamp Series dimensions range in height from 30cm to 46cm and have a standard perimeter of 24cm. Torre Lamp Series 2011 will be launched at Design Caribbean, September 1 - 4 2011, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
