Tollens: The Light That Rises from Earth to Heaven

Tollens —Latin for "Raising" or "Carrying" —takes its name from the fact that it is a handcrafted lighting sculpture that rises from the depths of the earth and carries light into a space with serene elegance. This design combines the timeless beauty of natural forms with the aesthetics of modern interiors, transforming an ordinary lamp into an existential work of art .

Material and Metaphor: The Light Dance of Stone

The most striking feature of Tollens is its seemingly heavy and monolithic structure, yet its remarkable lightness and safety . This is a feat of engineering and artistry, achieved through hand-crafted techniques using a specially blended natural stone .

• Essence of Nature: The presence of natural stones in the material creates a unique, organic texture on the surface of each lamp. This texture is reminiscent of wind-eroded rocks and earth forms bearing the marks of time , giving Tollens the feeling of being plucked directly from nature .

• Denial of Perception: The design's "lightness" plays with the viewer's expectations. Despite its massive appearance , its presence—like a suspended cloud or a celestial body floating in space —emphasizes the philosophical gap between physical reality and visual perception .

Form and Architecture: Vertical Softness

Tollens' form is inspired by the simple yet complex curves of nature .

• Organic Silhouette: The design presents a fluid and organic silhouette from every angle, resembling an egg-shaped, teardrop-shaped , or smooth sea stone . This form, completely free of sharp lines, creates a sense of peace and continuity within the space.

• Rising Monument: Available in three sizes, Tollens creates a vertically rising monumental effect . The largest size ( $130.0\text{cm}\times 110.0\text{cm}\times 190.0\text{cm (H)}$ ) presents a majestic presence at the centre of a space, while its smaller dimensions function as an intimate and focused light sculpture .

Light and Ambiance: Inner Glow

Tollens presents light as a glow filtered through the form , rather than radiating from a harsh source.

• Mysterious Radiance: Light emanating from the oval space beneath the fixture highlights the lamp's interior volume and texture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere . This indirect illumination casts soft shadows in the space, creating a calm, meditative effect .

Tollens is a timeless work of art where handmade craft, natural materials and minimalist form merge, and light and aesthetics are exalted in space.
