Meet the Penelope Lamp
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Penelope Lamp collection. This is a special project born from a collaboration between Ashley from JMS Projects & Design and Caitlin Prince Ceramics.
This series of unique table lamps is a true intersection of art, design, and friendship. Caitlin and I came together to blend our shared passion for ceramics with a playful, unexpected approach to form and colour.
The collection grew organically through studio visits, ceramic chats, and a mutual fascination with transforming everyday objects through thoughtful design. Each Penelope Lamp is a one-of-a-kind piece; no two are alike. They feature hand-built ceramic bases and expressive silhouettes that celebrate imperfection and play.
Our design philosophy centres on spontaneity and character. Shapes are organic, and colour application is instinctive.
By embracing the handmade and rejecting uniformity, we set out to create lamps that feel personal, alive, and full of soul. This collection is truly a creative conversation between two women who value friendship as much as form.
The Penelope Lamp was selected as a finalist for the 2025 Island Design Excellence Awards, highlighting the strength of local collaboration and thoughtful, handcrafted design.
You can purchase your own Penelope Lamp at Portside Interiors or Caitlin Prince Ceramics’ studio. For those seeking something truly unique, we also offer made-to-order custom options. Please visit our website to learn more.
We sincerely hope these lamps inspire you to live with objects that are crafted with care, rooted in creativity, and tell a story.
Love,
ASHLEY XO
