A SYMBOL
An abstract tornado filling the room with soft light, the Storm Lamp is the expression of contained, profound energy.
The Storm Lamp symbolises light through chaos. One could see the devastation inflicted to Ukrainian land in the irregular wooden planes, outweighed by the shimmering light of its people, brightful and undisturbed through the rubbles.
Light is the brightest when surrounded by darkness.
INSPIRED BY NATURE
High-end and durable material
Cut with precision down to 0.1mm, each of the 34 wooden pannels was cut and assembled in Ukraine, only a few miles away from where the tree was grown. Making it the most eco-friendly material there is.
