Serax Look At Me 04 Table Lamp: Ceramics at Their Best

With the Look At Me 04 table lamp, Bela Silva makes ceramics the true focal point of the fixture. Standing 82 cm tall with a diameter of 36 cm, this large table lamp combines a vintage orange-enamelled sandstone base with a cylindrical white cotton lampshade. The base’s silhouette evokes a generously proportioned vase, tapering at the neck, while its deliberately irregular surface reveals a very pronounced textural quality. The contrast with the simplicity of the lampshade allows the Ceramic to retain all its visual impact.

Bela Silva, an artist who thinks through Ceramic

Born in Lisbon, Bela Silva studied in Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States before developing an artistic practice informed by multiple disciplines. Her work has traveled from Brazil to Spain, via China, and some of her pieces have been exhibited alongside those of Andy Warhol. She now divides her time between Brussels and Lisbon, where ceramics remain at the heart of her artistic exploration.

A base sculpted like a sculpture

The base of *Look At Me 04* embodies the model’s unique character. Its rounded form is punctuated by reliefs, imprints, and irregularities that give the surface a sense of movement. Around the shoulder, the material appears thickened and modeled more freely, creating a break between the slender neck and the lower section.

The vintage orange glaze further accentuates this depth. It settles differently in the recesses and on the protruding areas, revealing a succession of shades and reflections. This treatment echoes Bela Silva’s interest in the energy and presence of the natural world, without seeking to literally reproduce a specific leaf, flower, or botanical motif.

Where should you place an 82 cm table lamp?

At 82 cm tall, Look At Me 04 is particularly well-suited for a dresser, a large console table, a chest of drawers, or a low cabinet. Its size allows it to serve as a focal point in a living room, entryway, dining room, or large bedroom.

However, it is quite imposing for a small bedside table or a standard desk. Its 36-cm diameter requires a sufficiently spacious surface to give the Lampshade room to “breathe” and maintain the composition’s balance.

What kind of light does the Look At Me 04 emit?

Look At Me 04 casts a soft light through its white cotton lampshade. It uses a maximum 4 W E27 bulb (included) and is intended to complement a room’s general lighting rather than replace it. Its appeal lies as much in the light it emits as in the sculptural presence of the base, legs when it is turned off.

What materials pair well with its vintage orange finish?

The vintage orange hue naturally complements warm, tactile materials. Light or dark wood, travertine stone, stone, linen, wool, or ecru textiles all complement its color without competing with it. Placed on a piece of furniture with clean lines, the lamp immediately becomes a striking accent and adds a warm touch to the overall look.

How much space should you leave around the lamp?

Its 36-cm diameter is reasonable given its 82-cm height, but its size still requires a sufficiently wide stand. Its 250-cm cable makes it easy to place on a Dresser or console table, while the switch on the cable ensures simple, everyday use.

With its vase-like silhouette, deep orange glaze, and textured surface, Look At Me 04 deliberately blurs the line between a light fixture and a Sculpture. It’s a lamp that first catches the eye with its material, then reveals its full softness once lit.
