Dafne

Dafne

This pendant lamp was born after a journey to Africa. Its shapes are inspired by the Umbrella Tree, but rather than provide shades as a regular tree it provides light. Each one of its brass branches, hand shaped with a blowtorch, has cracks where the light shines from. Like resin dripping from cuts on the bark. The brass surface is ground and deliberately left raw. The lamp's name is a tribute to the Greco-Roman myth of Dafne, the beautiful nymph that was transformed into a tree after becoming the unwilling object of the infatuation of Apollo.
