Hwang Bishop Debuts Bloom Lighting in Fresh Matte Palette

"With Bloom, new life springs eternal. The sculptural 16-piece lighting collection from Rhode Island-based studio Hwang Bishop draws on desert botanicals and wind-carved dunes, each petal-like form shaped by hand and alive with gesture. Bloom also marks the debut of the studio's new Matte Glaze Palette-an evolution for ceramic artist and founder Felicia Hwang, long celebrated for her richly saturated gloss glazes."

"Handcrafted in Warren, Rhode Island, every piece preserves the subtle ridges where fingers press clay like a record of touch made permanent through fire. Slipcast and refined, then bisque-fired, glazed, and kiln-fired again, the ceramic holds onto its quiet asymmetries. The result feels mineral and ethereal at once, grounded, yet light in the room."

"Bloom spans sconces, pendants, flush mounts, chandeliers, and table lamps, with signature compositions including Anthesis (12-globe), Cascade (6-globe), Garland (6-globe), Equilibrium (2-globe), and Ikebana (5-globe). Brass hardware anchors each form, and because the collection is made to order, custom scale, hardware, and finish options are available."

Bloom is a 16-piece lighting collection from Rhode Island studio Hwang Bishop that draws inspiration from desert botanicals and wind-carved dunes. Each piece is handcrafted ceramic, shaped by hand with petal-like forms and subtle ridges from finger impressions. The collection marks the debut of the studio's Matte Glaze Palette, representing an evolution from founder Felicia Hwang's previously celebrated gloss glazes. The pieces undergo multiple firing stages including bisque-firing, glazing, and kiln-firing to achieve their mineral yet ethereal quality. The collection includes sconces, pendants, flush mounts, chandeliers, and table lamps with compositions like Anthesis, Cascade, Garland, Equilibrium, and Ikebana. A signature multi-tier Bloom chandelier features cascading ceramic shades suspended from brass armature. All pieces are made to order with customizable scale, hardware, and finish options.
