Santiago Sahli Taitao 6 Wheel-thrown terracotta, slip made from liquid porcelain and crushed oak leaves. Finished with natural oils. Dimmable, battery-powered GU10 bulb with adjustable brightness. One-of-a-kind piece. H22 L24 cm Wheel-thrown terracotta, composed of four hand-shaped elements: two main pieces—the base and the shade/reflector, which can be interchanged in the upper or lower position—an internal mounting attached to the reflector, and a funnel-shaped bulb holder integrated into the base. Experimental engobe made from liquid porcelain and chopped oak leaves, harvested in the fall in Madrid. Finished with natural oils. Technical specifications: Dimmable, battery-powered GU10 bulb with adjustable brightness. Power: 5 W / Color temperature: 2700 K Luminous flux: 345 lm CRI: >80 / Voltage: 12 V / Beam angle: 36º Taitao 6 combines four hand-turned and hand-assembled elements: a base, an interchangeable reflector shade that can be positioned high or low, an internal mounting bracket, and a funnel-shaped bulb holder. Its experimental glaze incorporates oak leaves collected in Madrid during the fall; when burned, these leaves leave an unpredictable organic texture on the surface. Since it is cordless, the lamp can be moved freely from one table to another. A one-of-a-kind piece that combines the craftsmanship of the potter’s wheel with research into natural materials, in the spirit of contemporary Spanish artisanal design.
