Capiz Glow explores the revival of traditional materials through contemporary lighting design. The lamp is constructed from two circular wooden discs connected by dowels, creating a simple open frame with the light source mounted at the base. Strands of colorful capiz shells form the surrounding shade. Historically used in decorative lighting such as vintage chandeliers, capiz shells are reintroduced here in a modern structure that highlights their natural translucency and color. When illuminated, the shells diffuse the light and create soft reflections that bring warmth and movement to the space. The piece transforms a familiar material into a fresh visual experience while maintaining its connection to traditional craftsmanship.
