    Forms In Nature
    Light Sculpture

    Nature does not design. It grows, accumulates, and transforms. These light sculptures are cast from vine, branch, and weed — forms that already existed, that already held beauty.

    In 1899, Ernst Haeckel published Kunstformen der Natur — a visual atlas of natural forms so precise and radical that it reshaped how artists saw the world. This collection follows that same instinct: look closely at what already exists.

  • Branch Vertical

    Branch Vertical

    Branch Vertical is a light sculpture made from cast and patinated bronze and brass, developed from organic branch forms inspired by old vines and natural growth.

    The vertical composition gives the piece an ascending movement. It feels rooted and architectural, as if a fragment of nature had grown upward inside the room.

    Each branch is produced through refined casting processes that preserve small textures, twists, scars, and irregularities from the original organic form.

    Branch Vertical works as both sculpture and chandelier: a suspended organic structure where metal, light, and shadow create a quiet but powerful atmosphere.

  • Grapes Recast

    Grapes Recast

    Aged grape vines from old vineyards, cast in bronze using vacuum casting techniques developed over 10 years. Each vine section is unique — the form is not designed, it is found. Ships directly from Denmark.

    The glass globes are mouth-blown in Turkey, sandblasted, each one a variation on the last. The structure draws from the natural memory of the vine — the weight, the curve, the node.

Forms In Nature — Light Sculpture

A miniature forest suspended
in light and composite

↓ Scroll

Forest

A 360-degree arrangement that inverts natural logic

Forest encases a miniature world of branches, shrubs, and roots inside a luminous shell. The piece emphasizes what is usually buried — the root system — bringing it forward as the central form.

Crafted from PVO composite and 3D-printed with precision, each sculpture is part of a limited edition of 100. The light source is a dimmable halogen that renders the interior forest with warmth and depth.

15th anniversary edition. 20 original copies. A work that marks a moment rather than repeats a form.

Grapes Recast

The form of a grape cluster, reconceived in brass and glass

Grapes Recast takes the organic geometry of a fruit cluster and translates it into light. Each of the 13 glass spheres is positioned to replicate the natural grouping of grapes.

The structure is cast in brass with untreated steel available as an option. The glass is mouth-blown, giving each sphere a subtle individuality in thickness and translucency.

Dimmable from 100 to 2600 lumens. Wired for EU and USA. Made to order from Riópar, Spain.

Branches — atelier

How nature shapes each tree differently, like a vital fingerprint

Branches is born from a fascination: no two trees grow the same way. Every branch carries the record of its growth — the weight it held, the wind it resisted, the light it followed.

Each piece is cast from a real branch, rendered in investment cast bronze or brass. The original form is consumed in the process. What remains is metal with the exact memory of wood.

Every unit is singular and unreproducible. The form is not designed. It is found, cast, and fixed in light.
