Cubical - A translucent porcelain lamp by Arc & Sparo
Crisp geometry, softened by light. Cubical is a hand-cast translucent porcelain lamp that glows like folded paper and reads like architecture.
Product story
Each Cubical is slip-cast in fine porcelain, then slowly dried, fired, and finished to reveal a soft, even radiance along its stepped tessellations. The result: edges that stay crisp, surfaces that stay calm, and light that feels gentle and dimensional.
What you'll see & feel
- A warm, even glow that traces each facet and valley of the pattern.
- Subtle translucency unique to high-fired porcelain.
- A form that reads like a small building - compact, assured, and serene.

Availability & lead time
This listing is preview/waitlist while we finalize base hardware and packaging. Early collector batch will be small; production lead time is estimated at 4-6 weeks from order confirmation.
Handcrafted character
Each lamp is cast, trimmed, and finished by hand. Minor variations in surface, minute pinpoints, or millimetric differences are part of the material's life and proof of a human process.
Seams & joins
Cubical is formed in a multi-part mold. We refine the joins by hand, but a faint hairline may remain at the vertical seams when lit—an honest trace of how the piece is made.
Light & colour
Photos are shown with a 2700K LED. Porcelain shifts character with bulb temperature, dimming, and room light; your lamp may read slightly warmer or cooler than on your screen (phone cameras and displays vary).
