Iona McVean ÀIRD BHEAG

Iona's stoneware lamp bases have forms inspired by the 'flotsam and jetsam of the wild Hebridean coastlines,' as she describes. 'The forms are not direct representations of what I find, but are an essence of my experiences and observations.' The young designer fires them in her grandmother's kiln. We love the lamp bases for their anthropomorphic strangeness and pleasing heft. They resemble something almost familiar but otherworldly, washed-up on the beach after a force nine gale.
