A Parting Piece of Knowledge…
With their shapely designs and ability to fit into nearly any style of space, gourd lamps have long been designer favorites. Albert Hadley and David Hicks often used the lamps in their projects, and maker Christopher Spitzmiller has become an industry favorite for his handcrafted versions. But despite their contemporary popularity, gourd lamps can be traced back thousands of years to when the Chinese used hollowed-out gourds to hold water. The elegant, organic shape was translated to pottery and ceramics, a style that quickly caught on in Europe and eventually turned into the lovely lamps you see today.
