About us -

Rory Pots creates expressive ceramic lighting that brings warmth, personality, and artistry into everyday spaces. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to celebrate form, texture, and the unique character of handcrafted work, transforming light into an artful presence.

Founded by artist and designer Rory Shamlian in 2019, Rory Pots was born from a deep exploration of ceramic craftsmanship and a passion for lighting design. With a background in vintage lighting restoration, Rory developed a keen eye for detail, form, and function—drawing inspiration from mid-century modern, Scandinavian, Japandi, and Art Deco influences. Her designs merge this knowledge with the tactile nature of ceramics, resulting in timeless, sculptural lighting pieces.

Rory’s work has been featured in Dwell Magazine, Architectural Digest, Vanity Fair, and has been used by renowned designers like Bobby Berk. She takes great pleasure in collaborating with clients, creating custom lighting that reflects both her artistic vision and the unique needs of each space.

THE ANTIBES COLLECTION

The Antibes Collection draws inspiration from Rory’s trip to Antibes in the south of France, where she was captivated by the intricate beauty of both the natural and built landscapes. The French design sensibility embraces detail, and she leaned into that dynamism—exploring its complexity and translating its essence into lighting. Each piece distills a specific element from the landscape, transforming it into a tangible design presence within the inhabited space.
