Table lamp from the 1960s, vase Bay - Bodo Mans

This striking vase lamp with a cord was upcycled from an original Bay Keramik vase – designed by Bodo Mans – model 96/30. The Bay series was extremely popular in the 1960s and 70s and was produced in various sizes, designs, and colours. However, this model in vibrant red is now quite rare. The vase features a three-dimensional relief design reminiscent of stylised aquatic plants. The vertical structure and organic lines lend the object a graphic presence. The bright red glaze with dark accents impressively highlights the relief structure and gives the vase a sculptural quality. The vase: Manufacturer: Bay Keramik, Model: 96/30. Design: Bodo Mans, Style: West German Pottery / 1960s–70s. Colour: Red (rare variant) Careful conversion to a lamp: The conversion was carried out with conscious respect for the original object.

Material: Japanese cotton fabric with a koi motif. The detailed koi design with flowing fish shapes echoes the aquatic plant relief of the vase.

This lamp is a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind piece. Only one available.
