Knitting Sand
These unique, one-of-a-kind lamps draw inspiration from the timeless act of building sandcastles on the beaches of Zeeland, particularly Neltie Jans. Crafted from the very sand of the region, they bring the dynamic textures and ever-shifting forms of the seascape directly into your home.
Employing a unique “knitting” technique, reminiscent of 3D printing yet entirely freehand and manual, each lamp reflects the distinct individual touch of the maker, much like the personal character of each sandcastle.
These lamps invite you to contemplate the ever-changing nature of the sea, bringing a sense of tranquility and wonder into your living space. Equipped with a versatile light source, each lamp allows you to change the ambianc of your space, exploring how dramatically the sculpture's character transforms with different light colors.
Crafted with meticulous care, Knitting Sand Lamps begin with Zeeland's sand and custom binder recipes. The artist sculpts each form by hand, weaving intricate patterns across the surface. This process allows the material to express its inherent nature, resulting in organic and dynamic forms. For lasting beauty, each lamp receives a protective coating, ensuring the sculpture remains intact for years to come.
