Urbania lighthouse, Smithy

The Smithy lantern from Kähler's Urbania series resembles a New York warehouse from the 1920s. Made of ceramics, the lantern is finished with beautiful white glazing.

Kähler’s Urbania lanterns depict a variety of buildings from residential high-rises to famous landmarks, offering a modern alternative to more traditional house-shaped lanterns. Designed by Mette Bache and Barbara Bendix Becker, each ceramic lantern is complete with hand-carved windows that not only give the lantern an interesting, distinctive look but also allow the warm glow of a tealight to cast lovely light patterns around the lantern. Pick your favourite lantern or collect the entire series to create a whole town of glowing lighthouses!

Kähler is a Danish ceramics company which for generations has created vases, dishes, pots and kitchenware, many of which have become collectors’ items and design icons. Kähler’s story began in 1839, when the Holstein potter Herman J. Kähler opened a small ceramics workshop in the city of Næstved. However, it was not until his son, Herman A. Kähler, took over the workshop in 1875 that the ceramics adventure gathered speed.
