About the Item
In East Asian aesthetics, darkness is not to be resisted, but embraced. It reveals depth, evokes stillness, and allows light to breathe slowly. Opia draws from this philosophy. Made of thick, hand-formed glass, it captures the emotional threshold where light emerges not to dazzle, but to linger—subtle, uncertain, and deeply human. In the context of “Dark Times, Bright Signs”, Opia reflects a quiet resistance: a gesture that doesn’t erase the dark, but coexists with it. It is in the shadow that perception sharpens—and presence, however faint, becomes profound.
Opia Lamp // 3 was part of Dark Times, Bright Signs. “Times have been dark” more than once in history, and “the world has been falling apart” for centuries, countless times, generation after generation. Today, though, dystopia feels particularly realistic—certified, experienced electronically in real-time, and reinforced by scientific theories now accessible to all. Apocalyptic thinking not only surrounds us—it has become mainstream. Driven by this condition of hyperawareness, swept by waves of eco-anxiety, saturated by conflict and forced to face a rapidly-evolving reality—a new generation is developing new languages, perhaps forms of reworking, toward new balances, of hope. At the same time, though, the apocalyptic scenarios around us—or rather, upon us—cannot help but permeate our gaze, consciously or otherwise, shaping the creative language of today and the way we parse the world.

Small Aurum Gold Glass Sconce by Alex de Witte

Located in Geneve, CH
Aurum glass sconces by Alex de Witte
Dimensions:
Small: 20 x 30 cm
Aurum shows how Alex de Wite is able to convey movement within a frozen form. As glass is liquid and filled with air while producing, he has captured different shapes in the production process by withdrawing air when solidifying the glass. An extremely difficult process. These very moments of defying craftsmanship result in the elegant shapes of Aurum.
Every Aurum is unique and is available in three different sizes.
Aurum comes in a gold as well as in a translucent version. The Aurum gold is defined both as wall lamp as well as pendant.
Alex de Witte is fascinated by the universal value of beauty and how to influence that. “It is fascinating to me how people have an overall communal perception of beauty. Like scientific studies...
