Inside the Lisbon workshop
Twelve people, two kilns and a pleating bench. A morning with the team that makes every Dusklo lamp.
The workshop sits on the ground floor of an old printworks in Marvila. The stoneware for Morel and Totem is thrown on two wheels by the window, where the light is best in the morning.
Glazes are fired one at a time
Each Totem piece goes into the kiln on its own, so the glaze can pool without touching its neighbour. That is why no two Totems match exactly.
Every lamp is switched on before it ships
The last bench is a test rig. Every lamp is plugged in, dimmed from full to off, and left on for an hour before it is boxed.
