Emerge

Emerge embodies light as a symbol of human truth and freedom held within constraint. Enclosed inside a dense architectural volume, illumination is deliberately concealed, yet it persists and gradually forces its way outward through defined openings. The central vertical line marks the decisive breakthrough, where suppressed energy becomes visible. The design expresses the inevitability of presence, suggesting that even under absolute pressure, light, like truth and freedom, ultimately finds its path.

The Alien

A story that originated from the sense of women - as delicately and carefully, ossified and just as carefully nurtured its roots by maintaining and creating empty spaces between them. It is as if the bones gave life and growth to its delicate, firm, and strong existence and then found itself immersed in a light, or other words, a light that blossomed from within. Sepideh got its name from the alien, so when a person feels like a foreigner or alien, her inner roots are like a new life. The roots inside have a longing to be freed and rely on the safe point of the boundary.

Altera

The delicate, fluid and almost translucent character of marble evokes water. While exploring this relationship, waterfall walls emerged as inspiration. Water shimmering over textured stone suggested light filtering through marble elements. Reflecting the human desire to touch nature, this idea evolved into a modern, tactile lighting design that goes beyond illumination, offering a dynamic and personal experience. With rotatable marble wings, users can shape both light and form by hand. The design combines thin cut marble for light diffusion, a brass structure and frosted Led diffusers.
