Okina by Pott Project. The serenity of the form.

Okina takes its name from a humid forest in Álava where, every autumn, mushrooms emerge among the fallen leaves, becoming part of a landscape that changes slowly with the passing of the seasons. This setting inspired Martín Azúa to design a collection of luminaires in which ceramics and light bring the calm and natural beauty of the forest indoors.

The proportions of Okina, in its table lamp version, evoke the silhouette of a mushroom. A compact body supports a softly flared shade that conceals the light source while defining a serene and balanced presence.

A simple form that finds its starting point in nature and transforms it into a contemporary object.

The value of the craftsmanship.

Each piece is shaped on a potter’s wheel and refined with the help of a mould, allowing the clay to retain the marks of the making process. Subtle variations in thickness and texture become part of each lamp’s identity, highlighting the artisan’s craftsmanship.

In this way, ceramics express a quality that is difficult to reproduce industrially: no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

One Collection, different types of light.

Available in two compact sizes and, more recently, in a smaller portable version, the table lamp conceals its light source beneath the shade, casting an indirect glow that creates a warm and intimate atmosphere.

The pendant versions offer two different ways of engaging with space. The single-shade model, available in two sizes, focuses light onto the surface below, while the double-shade version introduces a second layer that softens the illumination and distributes light more broadly around the fixture. There are also floor lamp and wall lamp versions.

All pieces in the collection are available in either matte or glossy finishes and across Pott Project’s full colour palette. With each glaze, Okina subtly changes its character. Glossy finishes enhance the depth of the ceramic and multiply reflections, while matte surfaces emphasise the texture of the clay and its most essential expression.

The beauty of the natural.

Like the forest from which it takes its name, this family of luminaires finds its strength in balance, in the passage of time, and in the beauty that emerges when a material preserves its connection to the place from which it comes.
