Beauty and the Moor - Realized for Zag Design
The iconic vases of Palermo’s traditional legend are reinterpreted as suspension lights and as light sculptures, made of ancient olive wood, issued in a limited edition. Their manufacturing process combines an advanced numerical control technology with accurate craftsmanship. After assembling the various components, they are hand-finished through a meticulous engraving and polishing phase that makes every single product unique.
