Sponge Dome Table by Pott Project. A new scale for perforated ceramics.

Sponge’s characteristic perforated ceramic finds a new relationship with light in Sponge Dome Table. This table lamp brings one of the collection’s most recognisable features to a more intimate scale, inviting us to observe the material up close and discover how it changes as light passes through it.

A ceramic dome, covered in small, irregular perforations, rests on a cylindrical body containing the light source. When illuminated, light filters through the openings, projecting a delicate pattern of points of light and shadows onto the surrounding space. Ceramics become more than a surface enclosing the light source; they actively shape the way we experience light.

Ingenuity and craftsmanship in a single piece.

Sponge Dome Table, designed by Miguel Ángel García Belmonte, is part of the Sponge collection. It draws on a technique developed by Pott Project’s design team, offering a distinctive way of working with ceramics and exploring their expressive possibilities. Ingenuity and craftsmanship come together in a process where experimentation and traditional know-how go hand in hand.

The small perforations that define the collection retain the traces of the handmade process. Their irregular arrangement gives the surface texture and character, while allowing light to pass through the ceramic and create a delicate interplay of illuminated points and shadows.

This technique, developed exclusively for the collection, has become an essential part of Sponge’s identity. It defines both the sculptural presence of the pieces when switched off and the way they transform light when illuminated.

When switched off, the focus falls on the volume, texture and subtle variations inherent in handmade ceramics. When illuminated, the material takes on another dimension, with light becoming part of its very expression.

A texture to discover up close.

In its table lamp version, Sponge Dome extends the possibilities of the Sponge collection, previously associated primarily with pendant lighting, bringing ceramics into a more intimate and accessible format.

Placed on a side table, console, bedside table or any surface where a gentle light is welcome, Sponge Dome Table creates a warm, enveloping presence. The dome draws the eye, while its small perforations allow light to create subtle patterns across the surrounding space.

It is a lamp that invites a closer look. To discover the texture of the ceramic, the small irregularities of its surface and the way each opening allows light to escape.

Craftsmanship as part of the design.

At Pott Project, ceramics are more than a material used to create lighting. The work of the artisans, the time involved in making each piece and the subtle variations that emerge throughout the process are all part of its character.

Sponge Dome Table preserves this approach to craftsmanship and brings it to a new scale. Clay, perforations and light come together in a piece where the material does more than contain light: it helps shape it.

A new addition to the Sponge family that brings ceramics even closer to those who observe, touch and experience the piece when illuminated.
