Jeremy Cole’s ceramic masterpieces occupy a singular space at the crossroads of art, design, and natural beauty. Inspired by the lush flora of his native New Zealand, Cole began experimenting in 2004 with translucent bone-china, driven by a transformative moment at Tate Modern, seeking to illuminate ceramics from within. What followed has been a groundbreaking journey: he and his small, expert team handcraft each delicate petal-like form from bone porcelain and assemble them geometrically around stainless-steel frames, transforming static material into ethereal, light-filled sculptures.

What truly sets Cole’s work apart is this marriage of craftsmanship and luminosity. His pieces, from pendants to grand chandeliers, cleverly conceal central diffusers and lamp gear to allow soft, even illumination through hundreds of fragile ceramic leaves—an effect that feels both organic and otherworldly. This careful attention to how light plays across form reflects his ongoing philosophy: to constantly experiment with and challenge the mediums of ceramics and light by exploring the relationship between flora and art, always striving for beauty, elegance, and craftsmanship—nothing more and nothing less.
