Shining a light on the Theia Table Lamp – its blend of creativity and craftsmanship is the result of a special collaboration by Cape Town based Studio Lloyd and Nammu Ceramics…
The two studios share a love for organic and elegant handcrafted designs. While Studio Lloyd specialises in lighting and furniture designs, Nammu Ceramics explores the varieties and limits of clay work. Bringing both of those elements together created Theia, named after the Greek goddess of sight and vision.
The Theia Table Lamp is made from reclaimed clay, which gives each piece a unique character. The subtle variations in texture and colour are a beautiful reminder of the natural world, ensuring that your lamp is as much a work of art as it is a functional item. With its hand-thrown ceramic base by Nammu Ceramics and a handcrafted minimalist shade from Studio Lloyd, Theia offers both style and function. Its soft, diffused light creates a calming ambiance perfect for any space.

At Studio Lloyd and Nammu Ceramics, preserving handcraft in modern design is essential. Incorporating individually handcrafted elements into a product adds a distinct character, ensuring that no two items are identical. This uniqueness provides each user with a one-of-a-kind experience. Both design studios embrace the power of handcraft, believing that the hands that touch, mould, and shape a product leave behind their own unique story. While both ceramics and crochet are very different crafts from one another, the focal point of design is organic and meditative creation.

Theia’s creation has been a collaborative effort between the two design studios. The base design draws inspiration from Nammu’s distinctive vessel styles, modified to produce a fresh perspective. A hallmark of Studio Lloyd’s work is the handcrafted crochet shade, meticulously crafted from their signature rope material. The combination of ceramic and crochet rope harmonizes contrasting elements, resulting in a unique fusion.
Whether you place it on a side table, desk, or nightstand, the Theia Table Lamp is sure to become a conversation starter. Its elegant timeless design makes it versatile enough to fit various interior styles and environments. Bringing warmth and beauty to your space, where a glow tells a story, the Theia Table Lamp is available in light and dark variations.
