STARDUST
LAMP SERIES
We are made of stardust. Recent research into the genealogy of matter reveals that a vast proportion of the atoms composing our small planet were born from the collapse, explosion, and dispersal of distant stars across the cosmos.
Like the twinkling of starlight and the reflection of the moon, the lamps in the Stardust series are fragments of illumination that comfort and guide us through the night.
Here,
their glow is cradled in bamboo, like a gem held delicately in a
jeweller’s setting, combining lightness with refinement. The fabrics
that diffuse their radiance also tell a story. They are cyanotype-dyed
batiks, created using ancestral techniques and natural materials. In
Javanese, the word batik carries two meanings: “to break” and
“to draw.”
The lampshade patterns arise sometimes from blowing hot wax, sometimes from the cold cracking of the dye. Each technique reveals the creative potential in the fragmentation of matter and the transformative power of impact.

La série de cinq lampes Poussières d’étoiles au complet, à l’occasion du Festival de Design du lac de Côme en Italie.
We are made of stardust,
These lanterns contain fragments of it,
Faraway lights still alive,
Precious treasures we should protect like jewels,
And the fabric that diffuses their light tells a story,
Broken, scattered, lost, forgotten, found again,
Like the ancestral arts of bamboo and batik,
Rebuild, creator.
