We Ponder Slate Short Exterior Ceramic Wall Light

Introducing Slate, the most alluring glaze to join the We Ponder Collection. With Slate, we're delving into the realm of deep, moody aesthetics, catering to those who want to embrace raw, natural materials and a darker, more atmospheric ambiance to their space. We aimed to craft a glaze that seamlessly complements Tasmania's rugged landscape and the remarkable architecture it inspires. Slate itself is a captivating dark charcoal nearly black hue, with intriguing variations of mottled copper and chocolate tones, unique to each batch and firing position within the kiln. When bathed in direct sunlight, Slate takes on a subtle shimmer, almost reminiscent of a metallic finish. A custom designed electrical back plate ensures a snug fit against your wall. To maintain uniformity while preserving the unmistakable handmade charm, Slate Short is slip-cast. Slate is also available in a tall version.

Now rated IP-65, our Originals Collection can be installed in wet zones, for both interior and exterior use.

Delivery methods and partners

We work with several carriers to suit different product types and delivery regions, including TNT Express, Allied Express, Hunter Express, Trans Direct, and other regional partners. Tiles and oversized items typically ship by pallet via freight networks.

Delivery times

• Metro areas (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra): 7-14 business days from dispatch.

Dispatch is normally within 1-3 business days of order confirmation, subject to stock availability. Some bathware items are drop-shipped from suppliers and may have longer dispatch windows; we will email you an updated dispatch estimate where applicable.

Shipping costs

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on weight, dimensions, and destination postcode. For oversized tile orders, palletised freight quotes may be applied. Free or discounted shipping promotions are noted on the relevant product or collection pages.

Tiles and fragile freight

Tiles are heavy, fragile, and ship in batches. We pack with industry-standard pallet protection, but some breakage is normal in tile transport. We recommend ordering 10% extra on top of your room measurement to cover breakage and cuts.

Inspect tile pallets at the point of delivery. If breakage exceeds normal levels, photograph the pallet on receipt and email the photos to bruno@repubblica.com.au within 48 hours of delivery so we can lodge a freight claim.

Showroom collection

Customers in the Canberra region can collect from our Fyshwick showroom by arrangement. Select the pickup option at checkout where available, and we will email you when your order is ready.

International shipping

Repubblica currently ships within Australia only. International orders are not accepted via the online checkout.
