These lighting pieces are born from a dialogue with familiar materials such as fabric, sand, metal, and wood. Light enhances the unique character of each material, adding new expressions to everyday life and creating a sense of warmth and subtle shadow.

This exhibition showcases the atmospheric qualities of these lights and the design process behind them. By tracing the presence of lighting in daily life and the thoughts of the designer, you may discover unexpected facets of ordinary materials.
