POLIA, a book of light
Reminiscent of the pages of a book moved by the wind, which emit an intense and unexpected light. Sober lines and colours for Polia, the extremely original Axo Light wall light that brings character to living spaces.
Polia, whose name is inspired by the nymph that leads Poliphilo in his wandering dreams in the book Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (Poliphilo's Strife of Love in a Dream) by Francesco Colonna, represents this fantastic book – an emblem of Italian Renaissance tradition – in material form.
The light is a fascinating bundle of papers that curve forward, almost as if to ‘donate’ the light that they contain. Vertical or horizontal, alone or in pairs, the Polia collection adapts to both public or private environments, in bedrooms and living areas.
