A 3-Minute Guide to Knowing Your Ceramics (And Why It Matters)

Wait, is that "Pottery" or "Porcelain"? The moment you flip the switch, light streams through the lampshade, filling the room. Have you ever considered that what determines the quality and sophistication of this light is not only the light bulb, but more importantly, the "genes" of the lampshade? Many people, when choosing materials, often broadly refer to them as "ceramics." But what you actually bring home – is it the heavy and rustic "earthenware," or the translucent and refined "porcelain"? This is not just a difference in name; it determines the final effect of the light and shadow: Earthenware is often opaque; it focuses the light, creating a steady and understated effect; Porcelain, on the other hand, is a magician of light. It can transform harsh light into a soft, diffused glow, like jade, creating a sophisticated atmosphere where you "see the light but not the lamp." Although both are the art of "earth and fire," their physical properties are completely different. Today, let's use this beam of light to explore the "family tree" of ceramics and help you understand the science behind it. Part 1: The "Baking" vs. The "Forging" To understand ceramics, you have to look at how they are made. Think of it like cooking. 1. The Ingredients (The Clay) Pottery (Earthenware/Stoneware): Made from common clay. It’s full of impurities (like iron), which is why it's often brown or red. Porcelain: Made from Kaolin. This is the "purebred" of clays. It’s white, fine, and free of heavy impurities. 2. The Oven (The Kiln) Pottery is like baking cookies. It gets hot (around 1,800°F - 2,000°F), and the clay hardens, but it stays a bit porous inside. Porcelain is like forging steel. It gets blasted at insane temperatures (over 2,300°F). At this heat, the clay actually melts and fuses together, turning into a glass-like substance. Scientists call this "Vitrification." Part 2: The Big Three (Know Your Types) In the design world, we usually group ceramics into three tiers. Here is how to spot them in the wild: 1. Earthenware (The Rustic One) Think of a classic Terra Cotta flower pot. The Vibe: Chunky, heavy, and earthy. The Science: It’s actually full of tiny holes (porous). If you don't glaze it, it will soak up water. Light Check: Zero transparency. It blocks light completely. 2. Stoneware (The Daily Driver) Think of your sturdy IKEA mugs or that heavy casserole dish. The Vibe: Tough as nails. It gets its name because it’s literally hard as stone. The Science: It’s waterproof and durable, making it perfect for everyday plates and bowls. Light Check: Still opaque. Light cannot pass through it. 3. Porcelain (The Light-Bender) This is the top tier. The Vibe: Smooth, white, and often delicate. The Magic: Because it is so dense and "glassy" inside, it is translucent. This is the defining feature of porcelain. Part 3: Why "Translucency" Changes Everything Okay, so why should you care if your ceramic is translucent? Because of how it handles light. If you put a lightbulb inside a thick Stoneware shade, the light just shoots out the bottom. It’s a spotlight. But if you use Porcelain (or high-quality porcelain-like ceramic), the material itself lights up. It catches the light, diffuses it, and softens it. See it in action: You can actually see this physics principle at work in home lighting design. Take a look at the Mooijane Celiora Collection. This series features a full range of designs—from ceiling fixtures and wall lamps to hanging pendants. Because they all share that distinct porcelain-like quality, the light doesn't just shine down; it glows through the shade. You can literally see the texture of the flower petals coming to life. This is the secret to that "cozy" atmosphere. Instead of a harsh, direct beam, these ceramic shades turn the bulb’s light into a soft, ambient warmth that feels more like natural moonlight. Part 4: The "Pro Tips" for Identification Next time you are at a flea market, a boutique, or browsing online, here is how to identify what you’re holding: 1. The Flashlight Test (The easiest way) Hold your phone’s flashlight up against the item. If the light glows through the material and you can see your finger’s shadow? It’s Porcelain. If the light is blocked completely? It’s Stoneware or Earthenware. 2. The "Ping" Test Gently tap the edge of the item with your fingernail. Does it make a dull "thud" sound? That’s Pottery (lower density). Does it make a clear, high-pitched "ding" (like a bell)? That’s Porcelain (high density). 3. The Touch Test Close your eyes and run your fingers over the unglazed part (usually the bottom rim). Porcelain is usually incredibly smooth, while Stoneware will feel a bit sandy or gritty.   Ceramics are essentially just mud and fire, but the science behind them is fascinating. From the rustic charm of a clay pot to the glowing elegance of a Celiora light fixture, every type has its place in our homes. So, look around your room right now. That mug on your desk, that lamp in the corner—do you know which one it is?

From Concept to Illumination: The Story Behind the Nelson Lighting Series and its Design Inspiration

The story of the Nelson series begins with a simple wish: a softer, more comforting kind of light. That idea becomes a sketch, then a 3D form, and finally takes shape through careful craftsmanship. Next, let’s see how it brings a sense of quiet balance into everyday spaces. 1. The Designer's Inspiration – The Emotion of Light and Geometric Poetry The inspiration for this lamp initially came from a designer's contemplation one evening: when darkness is illuminated, it's not just about "brightness," but more like an emotion being gently awakened—can soft light redefine space, making daily life warm, peaceful, and yet powerful? In the initial stages of the idea, we translated this abstract "emotion of light" into a purer language: circles, arcs, and delicate projections. The simpler, the more timeless; the more restrained, the more enduring—this became the core of the Nelson series. 2. Hand-Drawn Sketches: Building the First Framework of Light The designer picked up a pencil and repeatedly experimented with shapes and proportions on paper. The initial sketches contained only simple lines, precise curves, and an imagination of "rounded light and shadow"—like building a skeleton for a beam of light. The hand-drawing process was like a private brainstorming session: it wasn't rushed to find an answer, but allowed the shape of the light to gradually become concrete and come to life. 3. 3D Rendering: A Three-Dimensional Experiment of Light and Form When the sketches entered the computer, the lines began to have volume. The designer transformed the hand-drawn sketches into a three-dimensional model, constantly adjusting in the virtual space: the precise dimensions, the tension of the curves, the translucency of the materials, and the softness and diffusion of light as it hits the surface. This step didn't just produce "a model," but an understanding: how does light interact with space? How does it fall on walls, tabletops, and people's emotions? Each rendering was a deeper confirmation. 4. The Craftsmanship Process: Every Moment of Bringing Design to Reality From model to finished product is a challenging yet fascinating journey. We saw craftsmen in the workshop calibrating curves, polishing details, and repeatedly confirming the strength and angle of each connection point. (1) The forming and calibration of the steel wire frame. Every lamp begins as an uncovered steel wire "outline." The craftsmen need to ensure the steel wire arcs are clean and symmetrical, the spacing of the frame is uniform, and the connection points are secure—because if this step is off, the subsequent light and shadow effects will be distorted. In the workshop, the craftsmen repeatedly check the roundness and proportions of the frame, ensuring that it already looks like a structural work of art even before any further work. (2) is the crucial "atomized spraying" process. The frame is fixed on a special stand and atomized with material in a spray booth. The moment you see in the picture is like "giving the light a layer of skin"—the spray gun doesn't apply a thick coating, but rather a fine, even mist of material that gently settles between the steel wires. This layer isn't applied in one go: the craftsmen use a steady hand to control the distance, speed, and coverage, allowing the material to form a soft, diffused surface while maintaining a translucent, breathable feel. (3) is the secondary touch-up spraying and detail thickening. To make the lampshade's texture more uniform and the edges smoother, the craftsmen perform touch-up spraying from different angles, especially at the curved transitions and where the frame intersects—these areas determine whether there will be shadow discontinuities or unevenness when the light is on. Truly good diffusion effects are often hidden in these subtle, labor-intensive adjustments. (4) is drying, curing, and tactile inspection. After spraying, the lampshade enters a drying area for curing. Once the material has stabilized, the craftsmen perform another round of tactile and visual inspection: checking for surface smoothness, any particle accumulation, even light transmission, and whether the overall contour has been distorted by the material. Only after passing these checks is it considered truly "formed." (5) is metal component assembly and calibration. Once the lampshade is complete, the craftsmen install the metal fixing ring, lamp holder components, and other accessories, and recalibrate the tightness and stress points of the assembly—ensuring it's not only "beautiful" but also durable for long-term use. After assembly, a lighting test is performed: checking if the light is clean, soft, and effectively enhances the ambiance of the space. Each lamp is a crystallization of craftsmanship and technology: the warm touch, the clean contours, the just-right proportions—all stemming from an attitude of "uncompromising quality." It looks lightweight, but every part is incredibly stable. 5. Manufacturing and Packaging: Light Ready to Shine on the World Once the lamps are manufactured, they are neatly packaged, secured, and protected, ready to travel to the spaces awaiting them. At this moment, it's not just a product being completed, but rather an aesthetic being packaged as a gift: bringing gentle light into different homes and different lifestyles. Product Highlights Links Nelson Plug-In Wall Sconce The plug-in wall sconce is more flexible, suitable for bedside, entryway, and hallway, giving the wall a soft "background light." Nelson Bubble Wall Sconce The hardwired wall sconce is more streamlined, and the rounded bubble silhouette makes the light more restrained and quieter. Nelson Bubble Pendant Lamp The pendant lamp is the "light center" of the space, suitable for dining tables, kitchen islands, or the center of the living room, instantly softening the atmosphere of the entire room. Nelson Table Lamp The first choice for ambient lighting on a tabletop, standing like a sculpture on a side table or bedside table. The light doesn't steal the show, but it's very "companionable."  Nelson Tripod Table Lamp The tripod support gives it a more display-worthy feel, becoming a visual focal point even in a corner, while diffusing the light very gently. At every stage of design and manufacturing, we are not creating "tools of light," but rather stacking stories about space, mood, and memories. The Nelson series brings not only soft light but also an aesthetic upgrade to everyday life—we hope it can illuminate every warm and quiet moment in your home.

The Stone of Light: Why Alabaster is the Soul of High-End Interior Design

In the world of natural stone, if marble is the king of strength, then alabaster is the queen of light. For centuries, from ancient Egyptian temples to magnificent Italian cathedrals, alabaster has been revered as a "magical stone." But what exactly makes this material so sought after by top interior designers and collectors? If you are looking to add a touch of timeless elegance to your home, the following five reasons will reveal the allure of this ethereal stone. What is Alabaster? Many people often mistake alabaster for high-quality marble, but the two belong to entirely different categories. Marble is cold and imposing, while alabaster—a special type of gypsum—is warmer, softer, and possesses a unique, silky texture. Imagine it as "solidified light." It is one of the few stones in the world that allows light to pass through its crystalline structure. It doesn't just reflect light, but emits a soft, ethereal glow, a quality that no man-made material can truly replicate. Modern Aesthetics: Precision Cutting and Geometric Beauty While alabaster has traditionally been sculpted into intricate classical forms, our collection embraces the essence of modern industrial design. Thanks to high-precision modern cutting techniques, we are able to transform irregular raw stones into geometric masterpieces with clean lines and uniform thickness. This extreme precision not only imbues the products with a minimalist, modern feel but also ensures perfect uniformity in light transmission—a standard difficult to achieve with traditional handcrafting. When you choose these pieces, you possess not only a gift from nature but also a perfect symbiosis of natural wildness and modern precision craftsmanship, allowing them to seamlessly integrate into the most avant-garde modern home styles. Nature's Fingerprint: An Irreplaceable and Unique Masterpiece The most captivating aspect of alabaster lies in its uniqueness. As a natural mineral formed through thousands of years of sedimentation, no two pieces of alabaster are exactly alike: Exclusive Texture: You may observe delicate gray, amber, or even reddish veins. Remember, these are not flaws, but rather "nature's brushstrokes." Variable Luster: Depending on the thickness of the stone and the light source, its color can range from a crisp, snowy white to a warm, honeyed amber. 💡 Expert Tip: When choosing alabaster, pay attention to these irregular textural features. They are the best indicators for distinguishing genuine natural pieces from synthetic imitations. Lighting Design: The "Alabaster Effect" Why do top designers love alabaster lighting fixtures so much? The key lies in its light diffusion effect. Unlike glass, which can produce harsh, glaring light points, alabaster acts as a natural filter. It eliminates glare, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere reminiscent of candlelight. Whether it's a modern minimalist pendant lamp or a classic table lamp, alabaster can instantly infuse any space—from the tranquil corner of a master bedroom to a high-end executive office—with a sense of calm and serenity. How to Care for Your Masterpiece Alabaster is a "soft" stone (its Mohs hardness is lower than marble), and therefore requires gentle handling to ensure its beauty lasts for generations: Dusting: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth for daily light dusting. Avoid Chemicals:  Strictly avoid using harsh household cleaners or acidic liquids, as these can corrode its delicate surface. Control Moisture: Alabaster is porous. Keep it in a dry environment; do not use it directly as a vase for water unless it has a protective lining. Alabaster is more than just a stone; it's an experience. Its appearance transforms with the movement of sunlight across the room, and when night falls, it comes alive the moment you flip the switch. It's for those who appreciate the beauty of nature, tranquility, and luxury. Are you ready to find the perfect piece of alabaster for your spiritual sanctuary?

The Story of Light and Shadow: The Soul Behind the Flowerpot Series

01. The Collision of Two Semicircles: Inspiration Never Stops Have you ever seen the most ordinary ceramic flowerpots on the roadside? In the 1960s, an era that pursued freedom and rebellion, our designer was sitting in a garden, staring intently at two overlapping flowerpots. He discovered that the "larger at the top, smaller at the bottom, and smoothly rounded" shape of the flowerpots was a perfect medium for light and shadow. Overcoming Challenges: But turning the sketch into reality was not easy. The biggest challenge was "balancing gravity." To achieve perfect visual symmetry in the pendant and table lamps, the designer repeatedly refined the internal mechanical structure. After 180 days of experimentation and rejecting more than ten different fixing solutions, the problem of structural stability was finally solved through custom-made embedded connectors. 02. The Dance at Your Fingertips: The Birth of Hand-Drawn Sketches Sunlight streams onto the wooden tabletop as the designer sketches flowing curves on the paper with a pencil. Flowerpot Portable Table Lamp: Flowerpot Pendant Light: A: Dia 23cm x H 16cm B: Dia 37cm x H 26cm Two sizes were created. This dual-size design is to suit different ceiling heights in homes; the larger size is suitable for high-ceiling living rooms, while the smaller one is perfect for a cozy dining table. Flowerpot Chandelier: Two different styles and sizes were also introduced. This is to break the monotony, creating a "musical rhythm" of light and shadow in the space through varying lengths and arrangements. 03. Digital Reshaping: The Precise Beauty of 3D Modeling When blueprints enter the computer, 3D models bring light and shadow to life. 3D Modeling Description: In the digital world, every smooth curve is precisely calculated. The flowerpot rotates on the screen, simulating every bounce and diffuse reflection of light on the aluminum surface, ensuring that it exhibits perfect geometric tension from every angle. 04. Why aluminum? We rejected the cheap feel of plastic. We chose aluminum because it combines durability and lightness. It perfectly showcases vibrant colors and offers excellent heat dissipation, ensuring that the lamp maintains its original quality even after countless nights of use. 05. Capturing Nature's Palette: The Soul of Color Designers aren't just choosing colors; they're capturing the emotions of life. Flowerpot Chandelier: Like a vibrant celebration.  Misty gray, matte white, and matte black serve as the base colors; Klein blue, deep green, and stone blue are deep hues drawn from the profound ocean; shrimp pink, bright yellow, and turmeric yellow carry the warmth of the afternoon sun. Flowerpot Pendant Light: The colors here are the richest, ranging from vintage chrome and silver to gentle lotus pink and brick red; it's the colorist of the space. Flowerpot Portable Table Lamp: It's a companion for the night. Therefore, we've given it more enveloping shades such as deep plum, brick red, and deep green, allowing it to become a visual focal point whether on a desk or bedside table. 06. The Craftsman's Touch: The Final Polishing Leaving the design studio, the lamps are handed over to the skilled craftsmen. With focused attention, they hand-spray and polish each lamp multiple times. Every smooth edge you feel has been meticulously inspected by the craftsman's touch. These are not just lamps; they are works of art imbued with the warmth of handcrafted artistry. 07. The Magician of Space: A Focal Point Wherever It Is Flowerpot never limits your imagination. Scenario 1: Dining Room – A Double Feast for Taste and Sight Styling Suggestion: Suspend 3-5 Flowerpot Pendant Lights of different sizes or colors above a long dining table, creating a visually appealing arrangement. Scene Two: Living Room – A Multi-Layered Art of Light and Shadow Design Suggestions: A high ceiling is perfect for hanging a striking Flowerpot Chandelier, while a portable table lamp can be placed casually on a side table next to the sofa. Scene 3: The Bedroom – The gentlest companion for falling asleep Styling suggestions: Use a pendant light as the main light source, and place a rechargeable table lamp in a matching color on the bedside table. 08. Every package is filled with anticipation. Finally, these works of light and shadow art are carefully placed in custom-made shockproof packaging. Labeled and shipped across mountains and seas, all so that the moment you open the box, it will illuminate your life. 🎄 Christmas Limited-Time Offer In this season of love and warmth, we have prepared a special gift for you. 15% OFF on all items Discount Code: RDX15EL Promotion Period: December 5th - December 20th Illuminate your magical Christmas night with a gentle light.
