ISSA — Sculptural Pendant Lampshade

ISSA evokes the atmosphere of an ancient island world, where natural forces and human stories have intertwined over centuries. Inspired by ancient Issa, the historical Greek name for the island of Vis, it carries traces of an imagined landscape shaped by the sea, the wind and forces buried deep within the earth. Its aesthetic recalls an artefact unearthed from another time — an object whose origins seem wrapped in layers of history, mythology and imagination.

Its raw, almost volcanic texture brings to mind surfaces shaped by elemental forces, while the interplay of matter and light creates an atmosphere reminiscent of a distant, forgotten island. There is something archaic and untamed in ISSA, yet also an unexpected sense of stillness. Like a silent witness to another world, it feels both rooted in its surroundings and as though it has always existed beyond them.

Handcrafted from lightweight concrete, ISSA is a one-of-a-kind object where the rawness of natural structures, traces of time and an almost mythical presence come together.
