…Our imagination travelled to an uncontaminated planet of rocky landscapes, swept by powerful winds. A lunar panorama of dust, craters and rocks responded to the wind’s motion. We were surrounded by energy and movement: sand whizzing around us, rocks rolling on the moon’s surface.
Chunks of brass, crystal and dust left the ground, twirling amongst us in a creative frenzy. Only then did we realize that our fantasy was generating shapes out of moonstone, envisioning magic lamps cast out of the most perfect “lunar” materials deriving from our worldly experience.
Moonstone is a collection of multifaceted pendant lamps inspired by organic rock sculptures: horseshoe-shaped, oval-looking, elongated or facet dome. With the simplicity of their pure design, they summon our most true, uncontaminated thoughts and emotions.
A little lunar and a little sculptural, the lamps evoke primordial talismans bearing positive energy and ancient wisdom. Like true amulets, they safeguard us from darkness and release our dreams by subtly bringing the ethereal glow of moonlight into our homes.
The design research always follows an unexpected path. In this case, we carved Moonstone out of strong, handmade fiberglass, infused with marble powder to create a composite stone like material protecting its surface, and of ‘battuto’ Murano glass or linen glazed diffusers, depending on its size.
The lamps emit a soft, down-streaming light flow, whilst their opaque, faceted silhouettes become sculptural when teased by rays of light. Their stems are composed of brushed brass rods enclosing white fabric cables.
