Story
Light projected, reflected and absorbed
The formal design of Theia is elementary and streamlined: two half-spheres, one horizontal and one vertical, intersecting. These forms let the light from a single source be projected, reflected and absorbed by objects at the same time, for our visual enjoyment.
An indirect light that warms the room
Turning the lamp around its central axis points it towards the person using it, or towards an object or a wall. Aimed that way, it gives a subtle, indirect light that immediately warms the atmosphere. Because the metal lampshade is totally opaque, each position gives the piece a different appearance.
