Root Light

Root Lights are sculptural luminaires crafted from Root Textiles, which are materials cultivated from locally germinated seeds. Two distinct textiles are harvested: one consists entirely of roots, featuring a light, fibrous tone, while the other combines roots and shoots, resulting in a warmer, straw-like hue. The length of the growth period naturally influences the degree of transparency within each textile, allowing for subtle variations in light diffusion and visual texture. After harvesting, the materials are dehydrated and treated with an algae-based bio-varnish developed in the studio, which stabilizes the surface while preserving its organic tactility. Hand-shaped and sculpted, these textiles transform into modular, sculptural luminaires that highlight the living geometry of their growth through light.
