Questions

About the lamps

Anything else, send Tantri a note.

Who makes these lamps?

Tantri Mustika, a Melbourne ceramic artist, hand-builds each lamp in stoneware in her studio in Carnegie. Her lamps have been shown at Melbourne Design Week: Flow State in 100 Lights in 2025, and the Kunji lamps in Wilson & Dorset’s The Sheepskin Suite in 2026.

How much does a Tantri Mustika lamp cost?

Table lamps are priced one by one, and the technique makes most of the difference, so a striped Stellar costs less than a hand-carved Ukiran. Floor lamps are made by commission and priced to the brief.

Can I commission a lamp for a particular space?

Yes. Lamps can be made for a particular room or project, with scale, palette and finish worked out around the space. Commissions take 16–20 weeks from first conversation to delivery, with a non-refundable 50% deposit.
