Flaura - Ambiance Light
Nature inspired light fixture
My design of “Flaura” lighting fixture is inspired by nature. It emulates the beauty and inner logic found in nature. My goal is that whoever looks at it will feel harmony and peace as a result.
Nature exhibits wonderful symmetries, for no apparent reason. The pentagonal symmetry appears in nature many times: starfish, sea urchins, flowers… That is why I chose to design the Flaura body in pentagonal symmetry. My inspiration of nature is translated into the use of round and soft lines, and delicate material. Flaura’s play with light is like nature’s illuminating stars.

About
I got my craftsmanship skills from my father. He would spend many hours in his workshop, building, creating and repairing wooden or metal objects. When I grew up, I joined him every now and then, and together we would build furnitures for his grandchildren, toys, and other tools. I had a dream that when I retire, we will take a course in carpentry or metal work and create wonderful things together. Unfortunately, he passed away the day I retired, and I had to fulfill my dream alone. And so, I went to study product design, and after that Goldsmithing. I find that Goldsmithing has the perfect combination between craftsmanship and artistic vision, so unwittingly I chose the profession that suits me best. After forty years of working in science and computer programming, I can finally do what my soul really wants.
