The LUM Series begins with chimney forms found across Glasgow rooftops. Reworked as modular ceramic pieces, each form can be stacked, rearranged and interpreted in different ways.

From place to object

The former O2 ABC was a well-known music venue on Sauchiehall Street. Before becoming a nightclub and live venue, the building had a long history of entertainment use, including cinema and performance.

It was severely damaged during the 2018 fire that spread from the nearby Mackintosh Building. After years of uncertainty, the site was later approved for demolition and redevelopment.

Material with a past

This object carries material recovered from 250 St Vincent Street, Glasgow. Its postcode and individual piece number connect the finished form to the building and place it came from.

Stone recovered from the site is broken into fragments and powder before being introduced into the clay and glaze. After firing, traces of the original building remain visible across the object’s surface.

Made with care

Each LUM piece is slip-cast, finished and glazed by hand. Variations in the reclaimed material make every surface and object slightly different.

Create Your Own Combination

Built from three base forms, the Lum series shifts through stacking, creating different heights and combinations that move between vessel, container, and sculptural object. Rather than prescribing a single use, the series leaves room for interpretation, allowing the user to define how each piece is used.

Packed With Its Story

The packaging stays quiet on the outside and more vivid within, reflecting how Glasgow can feel muted at first yet full of character beneath the surface. Natural tones sit within the project’s material palette, while die-cut openings reveal stronger colour beneath. Blind embossing and debossing draw on details from older Glasgow objects, bringing texture and depth to the packaging.
