Anima Lumen
Commissioned exclusively for our private apartment in Milan, this handcrafted chandelier by Sfossils (Mike Seymour) unfolds as a living sculpture rather than a lighting object.
Composed of 60 ceramic tubes, each individually shaped and finished, the piece is conceived as a vegetal organism in slow emergence—like a plant extending its life force through branching forms that seem to grow outward from a central pulse of light.
Each element is finished with two distinct glazes, creating a deliberate tension between tactile languages: one soft, matte, and enveloping, evoking a receptive, feminine energy; the other more raw, mineral, and elemental, expressing a grounded, masculine force. This duality is further emphasized through iron-based pigments, giving the surface a subtle depth that shifts between warmth and oxidation, softness and gravity.
The overall composition feels less like an assembled object and more like an ecosystem of energies, where opposing forces do not conflict, but sustain each other in a continuous act of balance. The chandelier becomes a meditation on the invisible structures that shape our world: expansion and containment, intuition and structure, the feminine and the masculine as interdependent principles rather than opposites.
All ceramic tubes are fully customizable in color, texture, and scale, allowing the work to adapt to different spatial and architectural contexts while preserving its conceptual integrity.
