Focal and ambient lighting is so much in vogue these days that lamps of all kinds are witnessing a huge growth in sales. Feeling spoilt for choice? Don’t worry, we have picked out a special one for you, that is intimate and inspiring at the same time. This little table top marvel is called the Prytaneum, created by Walker Fynn.

The Prytaneum is an excellent example of form beyond function and its unique construction would surely take you by surprise. The form creates a votive enclosure for the sacred light, promoting the idea of intimacy. The shape of the porcelain lamp shell, inspired by the twisting geometry of a rose’s petals, protects the flame from the wind while the multifaceted surface of the petals reflects the light around creating a halo of creative inspiration.

The name- Prytaneum holds a special connection for the creators. They have named it after the sacred fire that was kept in the center of all cities in ancient Greece to pay homage to the Goddess Hestia and as a symbol of the unity and vitality of the people. This ‘unity and vitality’, Flynn believes, is the core concept of sustainability.

The Prytaneum is a clean burning heater with smokeless flame which uses denatured alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol), called rubbing alcohol in its diluted form. It combines this alcohol flame with a heat sink and candlepower. The alcohol can also be used to dissolve non‐polar compounds such as oils. This ability provides an opportunity to create a scented flame by adding essential oils to the fuel source. This aromatic application further enhances the romantic appeal of the heater. Perfect for working by yourself or a evening with someone special.
