Story
A goddess's name for a lamp
The Greek goddess Theia, mother of the sun, the moon and the dawn, gives the lamp its name. The lamp is meant to convey how beautiful light is and why we find it so fascinating. Its materials and shapes are only the physical form of one idea: light and shadow merged in a single piece.
Pointed at the reader or at the wall
Swivelling the fixture around its central axis reveals its two faces. It can be turned towards you as a reading lamp, or towards an object or a wall for a subtle, indirect light. The metal lampshade is totally opaque, which is why the swivel totally shifts how the piece is perceived.
