True to her spirit, Candela Cort believes that genuine luxury is intertwined with simplicity, shaping her fantasy into beautiful objects that bring a touch of joy to the world. Her preference for working with humble and recycled materials reflects her mastery and skill in transforming them into objects of desire: unique pieces that are elegant, subtle yet striking.
This dreamlike light pays homage to the movement of clouds that appear, re-form and disappear. It echoes fantasy and speaks of the dexterity with which Candela Cort handcrafts her clouds from her subtle translucent fabrics.
Like real clouds, each cloud has a distinct, handmade, random shape. And this is Cort's hallmark, as if it had a life of its own, each luminaire is unique, it can be altered effortlessly, it plays with change. He has achieved with just a veil what time achieves by playing with water and wind.
About Candela Cort...
Madrid-based designer Candela Cort is a graduate in Fine Arts. Experimenting with a range of creative disciplines, she found a particular joy in designing hats. Her tools are her hands, the sewing machine, and the silicone gun, the latter being her “fetish object par excellence.” These tools allow Cort to give shape to fantasy, to make beautiful things, and bring a little joy to the world. For Cort, true luxury is inseparable from simplicity. She enjoys working with humble and recycled materials such as raffia and wire, transforming them into hats or headdresses.
