“Poppy Lamp” – Nikolay Tabakov | Handmade Himalayan Paper and Metal

We are pleased to present “Poppy Lamp”, an original creation by Nikolay Tabakov in which light becomes part of the artwork itself. Made from metal, handmade Himalayan paper and real botanical elements, the lamp combines functional design with a distinctive artistic presence.

One of its most engaging qualities is its three different “faces”. Each side has its own composition and mood, so a simple turn can change the lamp's character and the way it inhabits the interior.

Bright red poppies introduce a vivid accent and a sense of nature and vitality. Another face attracts the eye with a colourful composition reminiscent of stained-glass mosaic, while the lamp's gentler side reveals the natural beauty of botanical forms. These different images allow the piece to be experienced afresh according to the viewing angle, light and mood.

Handmade Himalayan lokta paper plays a special role. Real leaves, twigs, four-leaf clovers and poppies are embedded in its texture. When unlit, they appear as a delicate natural composition on the paper. As light passes through it, the material is transformed: the texture becomes more visible, the botanical elements stand out and the colours acquire new depth.

The metal frame, with its characteristically curved feet, lends stability and a finished silhouette, creating an intriguing contrast with the delicacy of the paper and the organic natural elements.

“Poppy Lamp” has two different presences. During the day it is a decorative art object rich in texture, colour and natural detail. In the evening it becomes a source of soft, warm and diffused light, creating a welcoming atmosphere and revealing the hidden layers of the handmade paper.

The work would sit beautifully in a living room, bedroom, creative corner or interior featuring natural materials and an individual character. It is also a distinctive art gift for someone who values handcraft and objects made beyond serial production.
