Serax Leo 02 Table lamp, a luminous sculpture in perfect balance

With Leo 02, Claire Horsten has designed a table lamp for Serax with a much more expressive formal language. A simple, vertical white cylindrical base stands for the upper section, which is composed of several stacked rings. Their irregular contours create an almost architectural visual rhythm. Made entirely of mat white sandstone, the lamp plays with layers, shadows, and changes in diameter to lend depth to a monochromatic composition. It comes in two sizes: Ø 24 × H 40 cm and Ø 35 × H 55 cm.

Claire Horsten: Ceramics as a Sensitive Language

Belgian designer and ceramicist Claire Horsten holds a master’s degree in interior architecture. Her practice lies at the intersection of object design, Sculpture, and interior design. Ceramics play a central role in her work. She favors clean, minimalist forms, yet also gives significant prominence to the material itself, its irregularities, and the craftsmanship involved in its creation. Her creations seek a balance between simplicity, presence, and tactile richness.

Layers stacked like an abstract sculpture

The design of Leo 02 is based on a strong contrast. The base takes the form of a perfectly vertical cylindrical shaft, while the upper section becomes much more dynamic. Several rings are stacked around the light source. Their undulating and slightly irregular lines create a layered effect, as if several volumes had been stacked on top of one another.

This construction gives the lamp an almost sculptural presence. Depending on the viewing angle, the various overhangs create areas of shadow that enhance the depth of the design. The mat white finish further accentuates this effect by allowing the forms to speak for themselves without any glossy reflections.

Which size of the Leo 02 lamp should you choose?

The small size (Ø 24 × H 40 cm ) is particularly well-suited for an end table, console table, or chest of drawers. It retains all the model’s character in proportions that are easy to incorporate into any space.

The Ø 35 × H 55 cm version has a more commanding presence. It is better suited for a dresser, a large console table, or a sufficiently spacious low cabinet. Its wider top section allows it to become a true focal point in the room.

What kind of light bulb should you use with the Leo 02 lamp?

The Leo 02 uses an LED bulb E27, not included. It features a pull-chain switch for easy daily use. The maximum wattage and cable length are not specified in the available data, so it’s best not to make assumptions about them.

Where should you place such a striking white lamp?

Its monochrome finish allows the Leo 02 to blend easily into a contemporary interior, but its bold shape deserves to have enough space around it. It works particularly well on a piece of furniture with clean lines, where its overlapping rings can stand out clearly. Paired with wood, stone, Travertine, or natural textiles, it adds a sculptural dimension without weighing down the composition.

With Leo 02, Claire Horsten transforms a series of simple volumes into a small, luminous architectural piece. The mat white unifies the whole, while the reliefs and shifting forms give the light fixture its unique character.
