The Habitat Lamp series explores the allure of otherworldly existence through a distinctive lens. Each lamp carries the name of a potentially habitable exoplanet, making us ponder the concept of intelligent life beyond Earth. The sculpted stone bases of these lamps exhibit a range of colours and textures, reminiscent of the diverse terrains that exist in our universe. The organically shaped metal stems gracefully connect to the lamp shades, which are shaped by plastic domes surrounded with a ring of copper foiled glass edges. By touching the cast metal element on the front of the lamp, light is dispersed through the lamp shade creating an ambient setting.

Barry Llewellyn (b. 1998) is an Irish designer, currently based in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Barry received his BA from Design Academy Eindhoven, during which he established his practice centred around creating experimental objects for interior space. Often starting with remains as diverse as broken ceramic and discarded plastic, he balances a juxtaposition between the artefacts we consider waste and those that we treasure dearly. By binding these materials together, he grows new forms which are rich in colour, texture and diversity to shape stories that are both materially and socially relevant to our time.
