Sandscape Lighting by Studio Haran Breathes Water Into Wood

Water’s unique properties make it different from every substance on our planet – a precious, life-giving substance, filling gurgling streams, underwater lakes, and our own blood vessels. Not satisfied with sustaining us and everything we know, the vertices of ripples extending out on a quiet pond, or the white-capped surf of a stormy bay are beautiful within their own right, captured deftly by UK-based Studio Haran. The Sandscape Collection creates movement within the static, rendering the motion of the tides in wood. The pieces retain a singular depth, showcasing the unique grain pattern while also celebrating the unique form of our planet’s most famous substance.

Two round wall lights are mounted on overlapping, irregularly shaped, textured wooden panels against a light-colored wall.Inspired by the ever-shifting patterns of the Cornish coastline, the unique vertices of the collection were developed from 3D scans of tidals and formations on the studio’s local beach. “Water has been shaping our landscape since the beginning of time,” says co-founder Joel Haran. “Those simple yet impossibly complex ripples became the foundation for the entire collection.” As sunlight rakes over the soft dimples in sand and surf, this depth is translated quite eloquently into lighting, a singular orb throwing a soft glow onto the surface. Dappled light hitting finished wood makes the pieces shimmer, a warm light cast out upon water’s surface.

Shown here in ceramic, each piece is rendered in oak, walnut, or ebonised oak with ceramic elements in signature glazes. The oak brings a beautifully warm, yellow-leaning tone, situated in a golden honey to caramel range. Walnut adds a deeper, coffee brown to the mix, with slightly more red for a different tone. Last but not least, the ceramic finish adds a textured finish, more singular in tone, yet still retains the visual continuity of the collection. With custom colors available, the sky is the limit with this ceramic finish, adding richly pigmented hues to satin or glossy finishes.

The organic nature of the Sandscape collection brings the outside in, a pool carefully crafted for a composed interior. The tone of the bulb highlights the natural luminosity of the wood, while the undulating curves keep water present in the mind’s eye, a moment of reflection and stillness personified.
