SpongeUp! by Pott Project. The origin of a light that breathes.

In the southeast of Spain, where pottery remains part of the landscape and collective memory, Pott Project found its purest language with SpongeUp!, a luminaire designed by Miguel Ángel García Belmonte.

From a simple clay sphere emerges a light that does not impose itself, but rises gently from within, as if the material were breathing.

Material as a point of departure.

Its perforated surface, crafted through a technique developed by the designer himself, turns ceramic into a porous skin that filters light with natural ease. Each opening is irregular, allowing small glimmers to escape and animate the space with a warm, organic, ever-shifting glow.

SpongeUp! does not attempt to conceal its origin; it celebrates the imperfection and nobility of clay. Colour is not applied, it emerges directly from the material in natural tones (white, dune, red, and choco) that evoke the different depths of the earth, without glazes or artifice.

Light, craft, and origin.

Behind every Pott Project piece lies a clear philosophy: innovation and tradition are not opposites. In Totana, where pottery is woven into the landscape and its memory, the workshop becomes a laboratory where clay, light, and design engage in dialogue.

SpongeUp! embodies that balance between the technical and the emotional. It combines the precision of a carefully engineered process with the spontaneity of a handmade gesture, giving shape to a luminaire that transcends function and becomes a sensory experience.

Lit, SpongeUp! transforms spaces with a light that envelops, vibrates, and breathes. Unlit, it retains the quiet presence of an object that speaks of earth, fire, water, and air.

SpongeUp! is more than a lamp. It is the synthesis of a process in which design and craftsmanship coexist without hierarchy.
