karim+elias give desert sand new form with luminous wall lamps and sculptural vases
Briefly

The Desert Drop series features new wall-mounted lamps and sculptural vases by Karim+Elias, continuing their exploration of rammed earth as a design medium. The lamps, made from sedimentary earth and hand-blown glass, provide a warm, internal glow. The vases incorporate glass chambers for floral arrangements and are designed to reflect organic forms and historical narratives. This series aims to revive ancient construction methods in a contemporary context, creating functional objects that celebrate the region's natural beauty and craftsmanship.
The lamps combine sedimentary earth with hand-blown glass, forming softly lit wall pieces that glow from within, while the vessels integrate a glass chamber for floral stems.
The designers honor ancient craft traditions while giving them new expression in functional, collectible objects that evoke the beauty of the region's natural landscape.
