“ILLUMINATED OBJECTS BRINGS TOGETHER LIGHTING AND ACCESSORIES CREATED WITH THE LVMH LUXURY GROUP, REINTERPRETING TRADITIONAL ARTEFACTS THROUGH A CONTEMPORARY LANGUAGE OF ART AND DESIGN. HAND-CRAFTED IN ITALY FROM ONYX AND MARBLE, THE VESSELS AND OBJECTS TRANSFORM FAMILIAR FORMS INTO FUNCTIONAL WORKS OF ART.

THE COLLECTION EXPLORES WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ART AND DESIGN COLLIDE AND FUSE TOGETHER. OBJECTS CREATED FOR EVERYDAY LIVING BECOME SCULPTURAL FORMS – DESIGNED TO BE USED, BUT ALSO TO BE EXPERIENCED AS ART.

THE PROJECT EXPLORES HOW A ONE-OFF ARTWORK CAN EVOLVE INTO AN IMMERSIVE ART EDITION FOR THE HOME. A UNIQUE IDEA CAN BE TRANSLATED INTO A COLLECTION OF OBJECTS, ALLOWING THE LANGUAGE OF SCULPTURE, MATERIAL AND CRAFTSMANSHIP TO ENTER EVERYDAY LIFE.”
