A wetland is an ecosystem shaped and saturated by water, where in rare conditions nature can preserve wood for thousands of years. Abonos, a Celtic name for this semi-fossilized wetland timber, comes from ancient Alpine trunks buried beneath sediments. Over centuries, minerals and water bonded with the wood’s tannins, hardening its structure and colouring its grain through shades that shift from gold to deep black—tones that can never repeat.
Recovered with meticulous care, this ancestral material resurfaces like a fragment from a submerged age, bearing the silent memory of flowing water and vanished landscapes.
In the Wetland Lamp, light becomes narration: it filters through the organic forms of the Abonos wood and reveals what time had hidden, illuminating veins, textures and shadows shaped over millennia. The lamp does not merely shine—it unveils, allowing the grain to glow like a whispered story, rediscovered in the present.
Every surface is a trace, every hue a secret of the depths: a small relic of the Earth’s memory transformed into light.
