Let Nature In

The structure of flowers, the texture of clouds, the silhouettes of coastlines, behind all the seemingly random shapes are the enigmatic patterns and order of nature. And in mythology, religious architectures and artistic creations, in all the aesthetics and concepts of human civilizations that survived the questioning of time, we can find an unconscious admiration and adoration from human beings towards the natural structures of things.

Inspired and enlightened by this, ATELIER V&F look at the relationship human beings have with nature, and try to appreciate and demonstrate the logic and power of nature through the creative process, and that’s how IRIS Wall Lamp was born.

IRIS Wall Lamp has a simple silhouette, with a black base holding up a white marble sculpture, demonstrating the balanced and elegant beauty of nature. The marble sculpture’s plump shape reminds people of natural organisms. Its clean silhouette and its perfectly symmetrical curves that radiate from the center towards two sides gives out a mysterious sense of order. The hyperboloid shape looks sacredly circular at front, while its profile has a dynamic curve to it. The black base gracefully holds up the sculpture and exhibits it in an exquisite way.

When put on, the light radiates from the rounded seam of the marble sculpture, accentuating the natural texture of the material, like the morning light shining through clouds, soft and romantic, but also elegantly solemn. 

Processed with the modern stone carving technique and precise cutting and polishing, the marble sculpture is delicately shaped and the stone’s natural texture remained intact. The metal base is sand cast aluminum that has the rough and rustic touch given by the old dip-coating technology. The combination of natural material and modern technology makes the IRIS Wall Lamp versatile for different vibes from modern living scenario to artistic space.

IRIS Wall Lamp offers fixed and flexible versions. When decorating a space, IRIS can be an eloquent presence, like a old totem from the time of nature worship, capable of raising the spiritual energy of the space. For instance, it can act as a atmospheric light source placing on the entrance of the bedroom, radiating soft and calming light, leading people into a quite personal space. When used in pair, they immediate draws attention, like a pair of mellow eyes, having heartwarming eye contact with the space. In this scenario, their symmetricity is accentuated, and they make the space more ceremonious. The simple shape of IRIS Wall Lamp makes it suitable for the hallway and staircase, like a recurring pattern from nature, they make the space warmly solemn and sacred.
