Cool Stuff: Porcelain Coral Lights

I spotted these amazing light sculptures during our visit to Portland's Canoe recently, and was instantly mesmerized by their delicacy and organic form.

Created by Israeli-by-way-of-British Columbia ceramist Lilach Lotan, the accent lights -- which mimic coral, barnacles, and other underwater forms -- are handcrafted from unglazed porcelain and gently illuminated by a small disc. They're available as votive lights, wall sconces, and ceiling pendants as well.

Check 'em out right here, and contact Lotan directly to find a retailer in your area. (The non-electrified votives are available from Canoe's online shop for $135 each.)
