Chroma Colours
When creating our Chroma light, we wanted to have colours that were modern and bold but would work well in a multitude of settings. To soften the lights we developed the glazes as a satin finish retaining some reflection whilst appearing softer than a typical glaze.
The Mustard was the first we got right- not too yellow and not too brown- a shade that has a hint of vintage about it. The Liquorice is a black with a hint of green and blue, created by altering the cobalt content of the glaze, which has a great architectural presence without being too stark. Last to be decided was the Oyster, a nude/pink that can stand out more or less depending on the rest of the decor of a space.
Just the lip of the shade is left unglazed, so you get a hint of the natural earthenware white coming though for contrast.
The process involves first glazing the interior of the once-fired shades, sponging off any excess from the dipping and rolling process. the exterior is then sprayed with its glaze and the shades are fired again. If there are any issues then the shades are sprayed again to perfect the glaze before firing for a final time.
