Ceramicist Felicia Hwang Unveils An Ethereal Lighting Collection

Florals for winter? Indeed! With Bloom, ceramicist Felicia Hwang explores the emergent moment of the titular organic phenomenon via palette and form. “It mirrors early stages of self-discovery,” she states. “To me, this is where the magic lives.” After traversing Iceland by camper van in 2023, the Hwang Bishop founder conceived matte glazes in elemental colorways like Meadow Moss, Arctic Sky, and Golden Hour that evoke glacial haze, luminous lagoons, and inky lava fields.

A more recent trip to Namibia shaped Bloom’s undulating silhouettes, a translation of the landscape’s craggy mountains and windswept savannas. Shades are slip-cast then bisque fired, glazed, and kiln fired, a process that preserves the subtle ridges and asymmetries. The series spans hardwired pendant fixtures, table lamps, sconces, and chandeliers, the latter in compositions such as vertically cascading Garland and sparsely multipronged Ikebana. They’re handcrafted in Warren, Rhode Island, and available with hewn or unlacquered satin-brass hardware.
