MOONLIGHT Luminaires Experiment With Texture + Light

Crescent shaped columns of travertine and marble slabs form an object with a texture reminiscent of the moon’s crust. Olivier Vitry’s MOONLIGHT luminaires are pierced by slits that run the length of the pillar, allowing light to appear from within and highlighting the materials chosen. Olivier’s designs seek to bring beauty, harmony, and well-being to his work, while demonstrating flexibility and clean, minimalist lines. Modularity also plays a large role in his work – place two MOONLIGHT luminaires together in various positions to create new ways for the light to reverberate through their architectural forms. Olivier recognizes the reality that life is constantly on the move, and likes to account for it in his projects, allowing the user to adapt an object to their own needs.
