Pagoda Réflecteur

Pagoda Réflecteur by Henry Wilson for Studio Henry Wilson. For Galerie Philia’s exhibition at Milan’s Salone del Mobile 2023, I responded to the theme of “Desacralized” by creating a lamp that reprises and simplifies the form of an altar. Topped with a floating plane of thin, translucent white stone, it also suggests a Japanese temple light. This is not a sacred object; however, it expresses an enquiry into the elements that constitute objects we might hold to be sacred – considering not only form, materiality and usage, but also the intentions that can be subtly embodied in design.
