Forest of Four Moons

Pendant ceiling light

Four luminous spheres descend from a linear wooden structure like moons gathered beneath the imaginary canopy of a forest. The repetition of the globes, suspended by chains, establishes a serene rhythm between weight and suspension, matter and light.

Materials
Wood, steel cables, metal chains, hardware, and four glass globes.
Current installation
Dining room, above a twelve-seat Louis XV-style wooden table.
Dimensions
Wooden structure: 2 m × 20 cm.Glass globes: Ø 50 cm.

Floating Venetian Shutter

Pendant ceiling light

An old louvered door, marked by time and destined for disposal, is reclaimed to reveal anew the beauty of its wood and the rhythm of its slats. Suspended by nearly invisible steel cables, the structure seems to float as light passes through its geometry, transforming an abandoned architectural element into a luminous presence.

Materials
Reclaimed solid-wood louvered door, steel cables, electrical components, and five light points.
Current installation
Living room.

210 × 70 cm.

Pyramid of Light

Suspended wall sconce

Between lantern, sculpture, and architectural object, a pyramidal metal structure encloses the light and guides it through its glass surfaces. Suspended by chains from an antique cast-iron bracket, the work brings together transparency and density, delicacy and permanence.

Materials
Cut metal structure, glass, metal chains, and an ornamental cast-iron bracket.
Current installation
Living-room wall.
Dimensions
Base: 25 × 25 cm.Height: 25 cm.

Suspended Geometry

Sculptural ceiling light

Fragments of old windows are cut, recomposed, and welded to form a new geometry. Orthogonal planes, ornamental circles, and vertical chains organize the space around the light, transforming salvaged materials into a suspended structure of improbable balance.

Materials
Fragments of reclaimed metal window frames, cast-iron mandalas, glass, chains, and electrical components.
Current installation
Entrance hall with a 4 m ceiling height.
Dimensions
Composition formed by 60 × 20 cm metal modules.Cast-iron mandalas: Ø 25 cm.
