The Fungi Wall Light – Large

The organic form of this sculptural wall light was cast to replicate a real tree fungus, taken from a felled tree. The design first appeared in Soane’s collection over 20 years ago but due to the retirement of the octogenarian artist who painted the early lights, the design was discontinued until Soane could find another artist to do justice to the original. Reimagined in jesmonite, it is hand-poured and decorated by artist Sophie Coryndon in her Sussex studio, in the South East of England, and available in two sizes, in either white or hand-painted jesmonite. Jesmonite is a versatile and durable material made by combining natural minerals with water-based acrylic and resin, and as such there will be natural colour variation. It is similar to, but more robust than plaster.
