Sculptural and small-scale, this hand-built stoneware lamp by Bernard Rooke carries his unmistakable totem language—stacked circular reliefs, scored symbols and a chalky palette of sand, terracotta and ash. A stepped foot grounds the column while a simple brass stem keeps the profile clean. Compact enough for a bedside or side table, but with plenty of presence even when unlit. (Shade not included.)
