Serax Leo L Table Lamp: Simplicity Becomes Sculpture

With the Leo L table lamp, Claire Horsten reduces the fixture to a few essential forms. A wide dome with soft curves crowns a perfectly streamlined cylindrical base, creating an almost monolithic silhouette. Crafted from mat white sandstone, the lamp emphasizes material, proportions, and light rather than ornamentation. Standing 56.5 cm tall with a diameter of 36.5 cm, this large lamp has enough presence to become a true element of interior architecture.

Claire Horsten: Ceramic as a Sensitive Language

Belgian designer and ceramicist Claire Horsten holds a master’s degree in interior architecture. Her work lies at the intersection of object design, sculpture, and interior design. Ceramics play a central role in her practice, with a particular focus on the material, its irregularities, and the simplicity of forms. Her design vocabulary remains deliberately minimalist. A single curve, proportion, or detail is enough to give the object its full presence.

A dome and a cylinder: two essential forms

Leo owes much of its impact to the clarity of its construction. Its lampshade takes the form of a broad, rounded dome—almost hemispherical—supported by a vertical cylindrical shaft. This highly legible geometry gives the lamp a character that is both architectural and gentle.

The mat white finish plays an essential role in this composition. Without any pronounced sheen, it allows the curves and shadows to naturally define the lamp’s volume. The sandstone surface retains a slightly mineral-like appearance that sets Leo apart from a perfectly smooth industrial light fixture and reinforces its sculptural quality. The white color further accentuates this impression of purity and allows the lamp to blend effortlessly into a wide variety of settings.

Where should you place a large 56.5 cm table lamp?

Measuring 56.5 cm in height and 36.5 cm in diameter, Leo L is ideally suited for a dresser, console table, chest of drawers, or large low cabinet. Its proportions allow it to visually fill the space without requiring an abundance of decorative objects around it.

However, its large diameter makes it less suitable for a small bedside table or a compact desk. To maintain the balance of its silhouette and allow its wide lampshade to “breathe,” it’s best to place it on a sufficiently spacious stand.

What type of bulb should you use with the Leo lamp?

The Leo lamp uses an LED bulb E27, not included. A switch on the cable allows you to turn it on and off easily. The maximum wattage and cable length are not specified in the available information, so it’s best not to make assumptions about them.

What kind of interior is best suited for a mat white lamp?

Its monochromatic color palette and clean lines allow the Leo to blend seamlessly into contemporary, minimalist, or cozier interiors. Its mat white finish pairs particularly well with wood, stone, travertine, linen, or wool. When placed against a colored wall or on a dark piece of furniture, however, its silhouette can create a very strong graphic contrast.

With Leo L, Claire Horsten demonstrates that a light fixture can catch the eye without resorting to ornamentation. A few simple shapes, a matte finish, and perfectly balanced proportions are all it takes to transform light into an architectural presence.
