Saint Louis
Made by Ceccotti Collezioni
Designed by Jaime Hayon
Jaime Hayon designed the Saint Louis in 2015 as a study in contrasts: the weight of ceramic against the translucency of mouth-blown glass, the warmth of brass against the cool geometry of a sphere. The result is a pendant lamp that reads as sculpture before it reads as light.
The brass structure serves as both armature and gesture, holding a ceramic lampshade above and a white glass sphere below. Light moves in two directions at once, directed downward through the shade while diffusing outward through the glass, casting a warm, layered glow rather than a single focused beam.
- Brass structural frame
- Hand-finished ceramic lampshade
- White mouth-blown glass sphere
- Designed for singular placement or multi-pendant configurations
Hayon's sensibility sits at the intersection of craft tradition and contemporary wit. His work draws on decorative arts history without reproducing it, finding proportion and personality in objects meant to last. The Saint Louis reflects that approach: considered in detail, confident in form, and genuinely expressive in any interior context.
