Collection: MARIZA GALANI

MARIZA GALANI IS A LIGHTING DESIGNER BASED IN ATHENS. SHE STUDIED INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE, DECORATION AND OBJECT DESIGN AT THE ATHENS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, THEN OBTAINED A MASTER'S DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING DESIGN AT KTH UNIVERSITY IN SWEDEN. HER LIGHTING CREATIONS ARE INSPIRED BY THE TRIANGLE, A UNIVERSAL SYMBOL OF DIVINITY.

MARIZA USES FORMS NOT ONLY TO DESIGN FUNCTIONAL LUMINAIRES, BUT ABOVE ALL TO SEEK A HIGHER HARMONY THROUGH GEOMETRY. HER AMBITION: TO INSTILL THE ESSENCE OF SACRED PLACES INTO THE INTIMACY OF PRIVATE SPACES.

IT IS IN OBSERVATION THAT FORMS REVEAL THEIR MYSTICISM AND ELEVATE OUR SPIRIT. HER SLOW AND METICULOUS CREATIVE PROCESS TRANSMITS AN INNER ENERGY THAT FLOWS FREELY, FROM HANDS TO OBJECT, TO BREATHE LIFE INTO EACH OF HER UNIQUE PIECES. THUS, A LAMP BECOMES A CREATION IN ITS OWN RIGHT, AND NOT A MERE OBJECT.

MADE TO ORDER AND HANDCRAFTED IN ATHENS, EACH PIECE TELLS A UNIQUE STORY.
