“When we started the project we were focused on producing something long lasting, something to cherish,” says Studio Vit. “A long-lasting product is a classical product and therefore fits in well with &tradition’s philosophy of producing traditional designs.” Made from Italian Bianco Carrara marble and mouth-blown borosilicate glass, MARBLE LIGHTS uses high quality materials and pure geometric shapes that push the light towards the realm of art object. Yet there is playfulness in the way they reference the archetypal light bulb form. In this way the designs fulfil &tradition’s second criteria – innovation. The MARBLE LIGHTS collection includes one table light and five pendants in different proportions. The pendants can either be suspended from the ceil- ing on their own, or they can be used with a marble weight that acts as a counterweight on the floor.“The contrast between the sizes of the glass and marble components produces interesting combinations when the lights are brought together,” says Studio Vit. The elegance of the designs is the result of the designers’ attention to detail and dedication to perfecting and reducing forms.“When we work on a product we go into a lot of depth and take a lot of time on the small details. &tradition have been brilliant to work with because they have a lot of respect for that,” says Studio Vit.
