Aare
DESIGN BY ALEXANDER PURCELL
The Aare Gorge in Switzerland is testimony to natural
erosion, shaped by the last ice age. Here, a river
originated from melting glaciers once carved deep
into the rock, cutting to its core. Thus, little by little,
light began working its way into the cracks, amid
ancient limestone stratifications. Thanks to a centre slit,
these lamps take on the archetypical form of earthly
geography sculpted by ice, reproducing its prehistoric
beauty, as if they were forged centuries ago. Aare is
available as a wall sconce or a pendant lamp.
La gola di Aare, in Svizzera, testimonia l’erosione naturale,
conseguenza dell’ultima glaciazione. Qui, un torrente
originatosi dallo scioglimento dei ghiacciai ha inciso
profondamente la roccia, tagliandola nel vivo; così nelle
sue fessure si insinua a poco a poco la luce, tra millenarie
stratificazioni calcaree. Grazie al taglio centrale, le
lampade si mostrano nella forma archetipica della natura
scavata dal ghiaccio, replicandone la preistorica bellezza,
come fossero state forgiate secoli fa. Aare è disponibile
in versione applique a parete e a sospensione.
