May: what glass tells

The sun sinking slowly, yet refusing to disappear. Those evenings call for a different kind of light. Not the sharp brightness of an overhead lamp, but something that holds the warmth of the evening.

When I think of May, I always think of someone who loved long evenings too. Of sunlight catching someone's hair and leaving behind a beautiful warm glow. And of that particular shade of blue that only reveals itself if you stay long enough to look. On evenings like that, you notice the small things again. A ladybird pausing for a moment on the rim of a pot. The colour it leaves in your mind: warm, earthy, exactly the shade of Cappuccino.

From table to terrace

Bottle Lamp is perhaps our most versatile lamp. Compact, recognisable, and at the same time suited to almost any occasion. On a dressed table at a May wedding. On a terrace with a glass of wine and the sound of the evening around you. On the bar of a restaurant where the lights went down just a little too early. Salon Frosted Chrome asks for a little more space, but gives it back generously. Stately, calm, made for moments that are allowed to last.

Both burn smoke free and odourless on Peri Living Paraffine Olie. You refill, you light, and the lamp does the rest.

What you don't see

Behind every lamp is a process that begins with glass. Crafted by hand, own design, developed in Oosterhout. No two lamps are exactly alike, though they are always recognisable as Peri Living. That is the nature of handwork: precision and character at once.

Transparency, to me, is not just a material quality. It is also a way of working. What you see in our lamps is exactly what you get.

Texture as counterweight

Alongside the glass sits Living Cappuccino. Two sizes, M and L, with a relief structure reminiscent of honeycomb. The same warmth as that evening colour, now tangible in ceramic. Ceramic next to glass: two materials that are each other's opposites, yet radiate the same calm. Presented as a set, with or without flowers, this combination sells itself.
