Pair of ceramic table lamps by Jenna Basso Pietrobon (Italy)
About the Item
This pair of tall ceramic table lamps by fine artist Jenna Basso Pietrobon beautifully merges functional lighting with art.
Each lamp, featuring adjustable canvas lampshades, is a unique creation that reflects the artist's mission to revive the ceramic town of Nove di Bassano, near Venice. Once a vibrant center of Italian ceramics, this historic town now faces decline, and these lamps embody a vision of its renewal.
Please note that the "Break the Mold" project embraces imperfections, so each lamp is distinct, showcasing the natural ceramic material. All measurements are approximate due to the handcrafted nature of these art pieces.
Dimensions:
Lamp total height: 82cm
Ceramic base: 27cm x 27cm x 48cm
Lampshade: 25cm x 25cm
Availability: Some models are in stock.
Signature: The bottom of the lamp and vases are hand signed.
Shipment: The shipment cost offered does not include insurance. If you would like your shipment to include insurance, please contact us.

Jenna Basso Pietrobon
About the artist: After graduating from Columbia University's Masters in Fine Arts program in 2017, Basso Pietrobon moved to her family’s hometown just an hour from Venice. The town of Nove di Bassano has been famous in ceramics for centuries, and this project not only is a tribute to her family’s heritage but also offers part of the proceeds back into her family’s hometown to help the craft of ceramics (more of this story on the storefront).
Project details: Break the Mold is a series of lamps, vases, and photographs which deconstruct and reimagine traditions of craft to produce objects that are novel and beautiful in their imperfection. This project analyzes mass production by using plaster molds which are meant to create repetitive objects into unique one-of-a-kind forms. Basso Pietrobon states, "I hope this work will inspire people to embrace and celebrate their idiosyncrasies, rather than conform their lives to predetermined forms."
The naming concept: The name of each form used for Break the Mold lights, vases and photography are named after the local towns in the area of the ceramic atelier in Nove di Bassano, Veneto, Italy. When two of the same forms are stacked on each other the name will be doubled, for example: 'Cassola+Cassola', however if there is the sphere form and a rectangle form on top, it would be called 'Cassola+Brenta'. The system of making these lamps is sort of like building blocks, using the same forms, modifying them and collaging them in different configurations.

Jenna Basso Pietrobon
Born in 1986, Jenna Basso Pietrobon is an artist who fearlessly explores society through her personal experiences. She received her Masters in Fine Arts at Columbia University in 2017. Her work offers a raw critique of political, economic, and social systems, using a blend of painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, design, psychology, performance, and activism. Break the Mold: Within the world of ceramics, plaster molds are used to make duplicative objects; the molds are vessels which facilitate mass-production and mass-consumption. Her artistic practice turns a critical eye toward this type of rote production, and asks how we can instead turn the molds normally used to make repetitive identical pieces into vehicles for unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. Basso Pietrobon explains further, "In the 1950s, my grandparents left Italy for Canada, where my grandfather used his knowledge of ceramics to make lamps. Following his footsteps back to Nove, Italy almost 70 years later, I have returned to my grandfather’s town to likewise produce my own clay forms. Part of the proceeds of the sales will go towards the artisans in the town to help revitalize the craft of ceramics."
