Lamps
The richness of our lamp designs is inspired by the fascinating shapes that nature offers. The shadows, the volumes and the textures acquire a peculiar way when working with the earth, the clay and enriching it with light.
After 30 years of experience we can affirm that the aim of Alfajar is to express the inner relationship of each man with the world, and therefore, with the nature around him. In this case through a lamp and its light, a decorative element that adds beauty to the space and modifies the intensity and quality of the light in each room.
The beauty of light.
Our shapes are inspired by traditional ceramic from the different cultures that once populated the Mediterranean: Etruscan, Iberian, Mycenaean, Muslim, Greek and Roman, although treated with a coherence of style that implies geometrically stylized silhouettes and a simplification of volumes and structures.
Cubism and expressionism also play a very important role in our work. Our intention is to achieve that synthesis between the simplification of classical Mediterranean forms and the avant-garde of the 20th century, in this case applied to sculpture.
Within this variety there are stoneware and majolica pieces. The stoneware works have a unique surface treatment, made by hand with iron, manganese, cobalt oxides and ash glazes, combining wax reserve and sgraffito techniques. It is baked in a single firing at 1250º C in an oxidizing atmosphere. The majolica pieces baked at 1050º C, are decorated with ceramic pigments and glazed with transparent enamels at 980º C. This line allows us to have a vibrant wide color range. Each piece is different in its treatment in terms of the use of color and the expressiveness of lines and stains, which makes it even more unique and special.
