The Story
Amala, deriving from sanskrit: pure, complete, it refers to an elevated state of consciousness, enlightenment, where the form’s engagement is transcended even though endorsed.
The egg, an ancient symbol of rebirth and prosperity, is the beating and lighted heart of this object.
The brass shell metaphorically represents instead the world of forms, orbiting around us with the function to reflect and shape the light emitted by the egg.
Amala is nourished by the shell movement designed around the egg and moved by the user’s hand impulses.
Thanks to this gesture the user has the possibility of interacting directly with the object, adjusting the shape and the atmosphere in the room.
Amala constantly reminds everyone to return to our own self, source of immense love and light.
It leads us towards a presence state where we can recognise/see the world of forms, our ego and personality as something we have and not that we are.
Amala suggests us to transcend the surrounding world, welcoming its characteristics through which we can reflect and spread our light and essence.
