The Boulder Lamps mark an evolution in DEGLAN’s sculptural vocabulary. Standing at nearly 2 meters tall, Domenic Degner and Falko Landenberger reinterpret the torchière as a contemporary sculptural object. Each piece combines a substantial, grounded base with a large handblown Murano glass shade.

Boulder Lamp 02, reinterprets the classic torchière as a calm, vertical torch that lifts light above the viewer. A solid, grounded base narrows into a clear upward line, carrying the Murano glass shade like a quiet beacon in the room.


The two forms complement one another while remaining distinct. One has a voluminous, gently faceted lower body that draws upward into a clean vertical profile. The other moves in a slow, undulating rhythm, shaped intuitively. Both converge in a precise transition where the plaster body meets the blown-glass shade. This junction reinforces the sense of height and directs the eye toward the light. Their apparent simplicity conceals the complexity of the process behind them and reflects the studio’s interest in shifting between clearly structured forms and more instinctive shaping.

The bases begin as wooden cores, shaped and refined entirely by hand. The forms are carved and sanded repeatedly before being built up with DEGLAN’s proprietary plaster. The material is applied in many thin layers, re-sanded, filled and corrected until it acquires the density, depth and subtle irregularities that record the work of the hand.
