VIT ceramics are produced at kRI kRI Studio in Seattle. The designer and artist, Kristin Nelson, earned her degree in ceramic sculpture from the University of Washington and has been working in clay ever since graduating.  

VIT, say, "veet", is Swedish for "white". Nelson also studied in Sweden and speaks Swedish, so the name seemed natural for her home decor range detailed with thin, raised white stripes. VIT ceramics focuses on form rather than pattern. The sensibility is Scandinavian, practical yet soft and grew from a desire to simplify. 

VIT lamp bases  Nelson returns to her roots as a sculptor using the ancient coil and pinch technique to create organic modern forms. From each original shape a plaster mold is made so that multiples can be cast. 

The lamps are finished with high quality hardware and vintage style, cloth covered cords. Simple, white linen shades are standard. Contact us to purchase bases only. Discount for designers.
