The AYOTLI** inspired suspended luminaire is a breathtaking piece of artistry and craftsmanship that seamlessly blends nature-inspired design with elegant materials. Suspended from the ceiling, it emulates the graceful and organic qualities of the AYOTLI plant while showcasing a harmonious integration of interlaced wood and a center interlaced heart of metal-leaf suspended by silicone-colored supports.
The luminaire's outer structure is a delicate network of interlaced wooden elements, meticulously crafted to mimic the intricate patterns found in the AYOTLI plant. The choice of wood adds warmth and a natural touch to the design, ensuring a connection with the organic inspiration.
At the heart of this suspended luminaire lies a stunning focal point - a core made of either gold leaf, silver leaf, or copper leaf. This central element not only adds a touch of luxury but also symbolizes the luminaire's intrinsic value. The precious metal leaf core is intricately interlaced with the wooden framework, creating a visual spectacle that captures the essence of balance and unity.
The tension-based suspension system is a key feature, as it gives the luminaire a floating appearance, enhancing the overall sense of elegance and lightness. The tension is strategically applied to support the interlaced wooden structure, creating a dynamic visual contrast between the delicate, natural elements and the sturdy, precious metal leaf core.
When illuminated, the suspended luminaire casts a warm and inviting glow, highlighting the interplay between the wooden patterns and the reflective surfaces of the gold, silver, or copper core. The design not only serves as a functional lighting fixture but also stands as a work of art that celebrates the beauty of nature, craftsmanship, and the timeless allure of precious metals.
** AYOTLI is Nahuatl for Squash, Jack-o'-lantern or Curcuvita maxima.
