{"product_id":"mullan-kapok-ceiling-light-black-clay","title":"Mullan Kapok Ceiling Light - Black Clay with Finish Options","description":"\u003ch3\u003eBlack Clay, A Ceiling Light With Quiet Authority\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kapok Ceiling Light in Black Clay is a 27cm handmade ceramic flush fitting that brings genuine material depth to a ceiling. The black clay finish is applied by hand at Mullan Village, County Monaghan, and fired on site, preserving the natural surface texture and variation of the clay in the finished piece. Without a glass shade the ceramic does all the visual work, the deep matte surface absorbing light and concentrating the E27 bulb's glow into the room below. At 10cm tall and 27cm wide it sits confidently against the ceiling without being overwhelming in most room sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe open ceramic shade faces downward, directing the E27 bulb's light into the room. The black clay body reads as a grounded, sculptural form against the ceiling. A warm white dimmable E27 LED is recommended, the surface texture of the black clay becoming more visible and the fitting more characterful as brightness dims in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Black Clay Kapok Ceiling Light suits bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways and living rooms where a flush fitting is preferred and where the ceiling should contribute something visually to the room. The deep black clay finish works confidently with pale walls and bright interiors as well as darker, moodier schemes. It pairs particularly well with antique brass, aged timber, dark stone and warm woven textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Story Behind Mullan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMullan Lighting was founded in 2009 by architect Mike Treanor, who restored a derelict 19th century flax mill in Mullan Village, County Monaghan. The black clay finish draws from the iron rich soils and ancient bog landscapes of that part of Ireland. Over 100 craftspeople work at the studio and every piece is made to order using sustainable clay and recycled brass. The studio distributes to more than 55 countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in Mullan Village, Ireland.
