Maya
The Maya collection is inspired by the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica and their remarkable tradition of jewellery making. In these cultures, gold ornaments often carried not only decorative but also ritual and religious meaning. The distinctive silhouette of some ancient ornaments, resembling an inverted crescent, became the basis for the shape of the Maya luminaires. The golden metal surface is framed on both sides by textured glass elements with a faceted polygonal pattern: the numerous facets refract and reflect the light, creating vivid highlights reminiscent of precious stones.
The central metal element forms the collection’s recognizable graphic silhouette. Its concise geometry reinterprets historical references without directly reproducing them, allowing the luminaires to integrate naturally into contemporary interiors.
The decorative glass elements play a particularly important role. Their complex faceted surfaces repeatedly reflect and refract the luminous flux, producing expressive highlights and shimmering effects when the light is switched on. Light itself becomes an additional decorative material, emphasizing the depth and texture of the glass.
The pendant luminaire is suspended from two cables. This solution not only creates an elegant silhouette but also helps maintain the desired orientation of the luminaire and allows its position to be adjusted accurately during installation. The two cables are brought together by a special decorative cylindrical element, giving the composition a clean and refined appearance.
The collection also includes a wall lamp based on the same visual language and combination of golden metal and textured glass. Different Maya models can therefore be used together to create a coherent lighting solution within an interior.
