At 20cm tall and 20cm wide it is one of the more sculptural ceiling light forms in the Mullan collection, with the ceramic shade rising from the ceiling plate in a way that makes it visually interesting from every angle. The black clay finish is applied by hand at Mullan Village, County Monaghan, and fired on site, preserving the natural surface texture and subtle variation of the clay through the process.\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 absorbs rather than reflects, creating a warm, focused pool of light beneath with a characteristic glow at the ceramic rim. Compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs. Lower, warmer light levels in the evening bring out the natural surface texture of the black clay finish most clearly and create the most atmospheric result in a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Black Clay Kauri suits bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways and living rooms where a ceiling fitting with genuine sculptural quality is wanted. Its taller form makes it particularly effective in rooms with higher ceilings where a flatter fitting might feel lost. The deep black clay finish works confidently alongside pale walls and bright interiors as well as darker, more moody 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.

Bulb not included. A warm white LED E27 suits the black clay finish well. A dimmable version gives full control over the mood in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill my ceiling light look exactly like the photo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClose but not identical. The black clay finish is hand applied and fired, so surface texture and depth of tone vary naturally between pieces. Your fitting will be tonally consistent with the photos but will have its own surface character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this suitable for a bathroom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Kauri Ceiling Light is IP20 rated and suitable for dry indoor areas only.
