Cupressus: The Twin Graces of Vertical Light

Cupressus —Latin for "Cypress Tree" —is a completely handmade piece of lighting art, named for its soaring, slender, and unwavering silhouette. Presented in a set of two , these floor lamps, complementary yet each possessing their own unique presence, create a sculptural composition that contrasts formal simplicity with textural richness .

Material and Metaphor: The Mystical Unity of Paper and Plaster

The philosophical depth of Cupressus lies in the unexpected collaboration of materials.

• Specially Blended Plasters and Papers: The floor lamps are handcrafted using a combination of specially blended plasters and layered papers , transcending traditional material boundaries. This technique gives the lamp's surface a weathered, rough, yet organic texture that evokes the feeling of an archaeological find . This texture emphasizes the contrasts of impermanence and permanence .

• Thin Shell: The lightness of the materials creates the impression that the seemingly massive form is merely a shell , suggesting the fragility and vulnerability behind the hardness. As light filters through this shell, it radiates an inner glow and a spiritual essence .

Form and Composition: Vertical Presence

The design is an abstract expression of vertical growth in nature and the sublimity of architectural monuments.

• Twin Silhouette: These two lamps have different heights and slightly different body proportions (Tall: $176\text{cm}$ , Short: $145\text{cm}$ ) create a dialogue when brought together. This dual arrangement symbolizes themes such as brotherhood, completion, and companionship , adding rhythm and dynamism to the space.

• Downlight: Direct illumination from the lamp's peak vertically emphasizes the form while creating soft, dramatic shadows thanks to the surface texture. The light descends from above like a divine blessing , transforming the illuminated space into a stage .

Cupressus is not just a lighting fixture, but a collectible, sculptural duo that brings the philosophical depth of the craft to the space; it creates an atmosphere of silence and contemplation using light and form.
