About the Item
This pair of Garbo pendant lights, designed by Mariyo Yagi for Sirrah in the early 1970s, unfolds in space like a luminous and shimmering cascade. Each piece descends from a rectangular metal ceiling element, extended by a curtain of white nylon fringes that forms a translucent screen, softly filtering the light. The slightest movement of air animates the threads, creating a subtle sparkle and an almost immaterial presence. Installed side by side or individually, these lights act as luminous diaphragms, structuring space without enclosing it, like partitions that can be crossed. Placed in front of natural light, they appear to float, enhancing their poetic and sculptural character. The name Garbo, suggested by Dino Gavina as a tribute to Greta Garbo, perfectly reflects the mysterious elegance and quiet beauty of this iconic model.
Price is for the pair, both fully restored, rewired, and ready to use.
The Garbo series is part of the collection of the National Museum of Modern Art of Tokyo.
Mariyo Yagi (1948–2024) was a Japanese artist and designer whose work lies at the intersection of sculpture, design, and spatial practice. Born in Kobe, she graduated in Fine Arts from Kyoto City University of Arts and worked from 1973 to 1976 alongside sculptor and architect Isamu Noguchi, whose influence profoundly shaped her sensitivity to form and environment. Her meeting with Carlo Scarpa at the 1973 Venice Biennale led to her collaboration with Dino Gavina, opening her practice to Italian design culture. Yagi’s work is rooted in the concept of Nawa the rope a metaphor for connection, energy, and human continuity, expressed through sculptural, luminous, and sometimes monumental works. Recipient of numerous international awards and a professor at Kobe Women’s University in the 1990s, Mariyo Yagi is recognized for a poetic and evolving body of work in which material, light, and space engage in a deeply contemplative dialogue.
