OLEA

This unique object is part of the new and steadily evolving 'Orbital Collection'. The inspiration for these pieces comes from a form language seen in the natural world as a result of particle collision and erosion by tidal forces or other weathering systems at play. On earth, these forces are mostly linear but in space, the irrational behaviour of all kinds of cosmic forces sculpt orbital matter, prompting imagination for all kinds of intricate forms and structures that could exist in the process.

The structure of the piece allows light to penetrate through hidden openings and diffuse softly across the textured surfaces. As a composition of rolling curves, the outer form is carved out of the contours and accentuated. We like to think of light as a medium that can be shaped like its fluid; using surfaces as a source of emission and shadows to define depth.
