Trent Kendrick is a Chicago-based lighting designer and ceramicist. A fourth generation maker, he studied interior design at Harrington College of Design and has built a practice rooted in handmade work — ceramics, lighting, and paintings — all made by hand in his Chicago studio. Each lighting piece is hand-built, combining materials like ceramic, brass, and natural fibres, and designed to feel more like an object than a fixture.





Luminara Pendant
The Luminara Pendant is comprised of two forms in conversation, a hand-built ceramic bowl that cradles the light source, sending a warm glow upward into a wide sinamay shade above, where it scatters across the open weave and fills the room with quiet luminance. Below the clay, a brass ball finial. Between them, a brass spine. The whole composition feels both grounded and weightless. The ceramic is raw and volcanic in texture, dark, elemental, and unapologetically handmade. The sinamay, a woven straw fiber rooted in millinery tradition, does what no fabric can: it catches light and holds it, glowing from within. Dimmable LED. Color temperature adjustable at installation to suit your space.
