Nicole Lawrence – Oro Lamp, 2022

The Oro Lamp draws inspiration from the Ouroboros snake symbol and intends to be equally iconic. As with all NLS pieces, this lamp is made entirely in Melbourne both by NLS and collaboratively with experts - notably an artisanal glass blower to create these striking hand-blown glass shades are designed to cast a warm and calming light.

'Blue is my favourite colour, I often find myself wearing an all-blue outfit. I am looking forward to being nicknamed "The Blue Lady" when I am an old dotty lady walking down the street.'
