ikitree aims to bring objects that you can cherish. The objects you keep around you and feel comfortable with. Beautifully special, and great to have around. Pleasant in character; proud, yet humble. Lasting items that are balanced in every aspect of their design: objects to be with.

Creative Director porcelain desk lamp

This lamp has a strong and optimistic character. With its honest materials and elegant brass frame, it’s happy in many different interiors and settings. The Creative Director is a good companion as a desk lamp, and also fits nicely on a cabinet or side table. This lamp works great for hotel rooms, while it’s also an object to cherish at home. The shade of Creative Director is carefully made by hand with slip casting porcelain. Every lamp is unique and carries its very own marvellous material qualities. Small traces of imperfections showcase the ceramic material and give the lamp an authentic feel. When the lamp is switched on, the handmade process shines through and the white porcelain glows softly. It reflects light in just the right color for pleasant light. The frame is made of all brass components, with solid brass legs.

Little Vocalist porcelain pendant lamp

Little vocalist is a pendant lamp with a sweet small size and modest design. This lamp leaves ample space to look through and leaves visual space for the rest of the interior. Up close the brass details and delicate thin porcelain are impressive in their quality. Three or more Little Vocalists together create a unique and subtle lighting set above a long bar or table. The small dimensions of this lamp make it suitable for many interior settings, for example individually placed above small restaurant tables. This lamp can be used in repetition without dominating the interior. Because of its modest design, Little Vocalists also look beautiful against a colourful background or wallpaper. The porcelain shade is hand-poured in Utrecht, and it diffuses light in a beautiful manner. In white, the shade is carefully made so thin, that it softly glows when the lamp is on. The material qualities and unique imperfections then shine through. Available in white, sand, and deep black.

Improviser porcelain clock

Improviser is a clock made of a single porcelain slab. The outer shape is the result of fluid porcelain flowing and stopping. Every clock is unique and different, the porcelain looks frozen in time. The brass hands and the time indication form a poetic contrast with the outline of the clock, which is shaped by chance. This design reminds you that our measured time is rigid and rational, in contrast with much of our lives. Every time you look at this clock, be reminded that the unpredictable can surprise you, just dare to improvise. Available in white, dark grey, and soft pink.
