"In many cultures, the branch of a tree is always loaded with very important symbolic values related to Nature, man, and spirituality. The idea of turning a branch into a light source stems from the desire to amplify this positive valence and create a functional object that at the same time can act as a stimulus for the soul," says the designer.

Ever since human beings began to leave traces of their passage on Earth, the tree has been present in myths and legends: in fact, thanks to its structure, tied to the earth but reaching out into space and new horizons, thanks to its very physiology and ability to use sunlight to produce oxygen, an essential element that allows human beings to live, the tree in mythology, religions, and common knowledge represents the symbol of life, the world, and knowledge.

 

For the Celts, the tree branches represent the web of life and its knots the events that mark it: just like the tree, humans must face numerous obstacles in their daily lives and overcome them in order to grow, to improve.

Marcantonio is an artist before he is a designer: objects must dialogue with people, communicate, not just be designed for a function. Thus the artist/designer investigates the relationship between humans and their environment, questioning the concept of what is original.

The Aira lamp breaks into the domestic walls and resonates with the deepest part of the individual; it becomes a symbolic representation that allows one to connect with the archetypes and spiritual energies proper to the natural world, proving to be a source of stimulation for human imagination and knowledge.

Its structure is made of brass painted satin gold; the base of white Carrara or black Marquina marble. LED lighting body (Europlug CEE 7/16). Aira is durability over time, resistance to abrasive actions, brightness.
