Morning Glory Floor Lamp

Terrestrial inspirations meet out-of-this-world design in the iconic floor lamp from Aqua Creations

From fields of fauna to the depths of the ocean, Tel Aviv lighting design studio Aqua Creations gathers inspiration from organic forms found in nature. A central piece of the studio’s growing portfolio, the Morning Glory floor lamp is reminiscent of bioluminescence – casting a dreamy glow through its sculptural, fungi-like body. Despite standing more than two metres tall, the lamp maintains a gentle and unobtrusive presence with a light-softening outfit of delicate raw silk.

Designed by Albi Serfaty, founder and artistic director of Aqua Creations, the lamp has been the studio’s best-selling design since its inception in 1992. Over the years, its collection has added a number of pendants and wall lights with similar silk dressings as the floor lamp — folded to convey the appearance of coral, starfish and poppies, among other muses. But the hallmark design remains the studio’s most prized.

The Morning Glory floor lamp is custom and hand-made by a small group of artisans skilled in working with the studio’s signature materials – Tussar silk, webbed polymer, origami paper and responsive RGB LED lights, among others. Now on view at Industrial Storm’s Dupont Street showroom, the lamp has arrived in our very lucky city – available to shop or simply gaze upon in awe. INDUSTRIALSTORM.COM

The industrial designer and textile artist shares the inspirations that keep her loom whirring

In a seaside cottage in Shediac, New Brunswick, the soft hiss and swish of high-tide molds my mood like putty. Breathing in the deep calm—and the smell of last night’s seafood—my mind is miles away from my home in cosmopolitan Toronto. Here, craft feels as grounded as the clams they dig for each morning, and as I prepare for my call with textile artist Laura Carwardine, I can’t help but wonder *Carrie Bradshaw voice* what is the future of textile art in Toronto?
