Description
EVENT HORIZON
The Event Horizon Lamp from the ONNDA COLLECTION encapsulates the awe and mystery we experience when gazing at the night sky. This luminaire invites us on a journey into the unknown cosmos, evoking a sense of wonder akin to contemplating the vastness of space.
Inspired by the astronomical term “event horizon”—the boundary around a black hole beyond which nothing can escape, not even light—this lamp pays homage to the great Unknown. The Event Horizon Lamp brings the cosmos closer, transforming a profound cosmic concept into a tangible, luminous piece of art.
Crafted with a commitment to material innovation, the lamp’s ethereal colors result from optical phenomena such as birefringence, refraction, and reflection, rather than colored light sources. This interplay of light and material reflects our Studio’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of design and material science.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Catrinel’s work is driven by my interests in perception and movement, with recurring themes of time perception, entropy, light, and nature. Through her interactive objects, the artist offers experiences that challenge perception and visualize the invisible forces around us in an engaging manner. This recontextualizes reality, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
The creation of ambiguous objects that seems to appear to shift and change depending on the viewer’s perspective. This practice engages the viewer, making them a co-creator of the experience. Ideally, it serves as a journey of self-reflection.
