Marten Herma Anderson works across sculpture, design, and architecture, exploring material, memory, and form through ceramic vessels and lighting objects. His work balances fragility and structure, emotion and precision, creating pieces that function as intimate architectures holding light and meaning. Raised on the Baltic island of Rügen, Anderson draws inspiration from coastal landscapes and GDR-era architecture. Using nostalgic and unconventional materials, his vessels and lamps transform everyday references into poetic objects that merge function with emotion.

All Objects

The sculptural lamps, with hand-shaped resin shades and glazed ceramic bases, reflect a personal and playful approach. Inspired by the translucent packaging of a childhood ice cream (BumBum), with its transparent wrapper and printed square pattern, the lampshades become a glowing interplay of structure and softness. Despite their delicate appearance, they are made using boat-building techniques, adding an unexpected strength to their form. These lamps act as both aesthetic objects and sources of light, merging an architectural background with a nostalgic, intimate layer of childhood memory.
