Embark on a transformative journey with us as we breathe new life into discarded marble waste. In a world where over 50% of marble is extracted annually, the environmental impact of waste accumulation cannot be ignored. Our mission is to repurpose this overlooked material, crafting it into elegant and functional interior pieces. Through meticulous research and innovative techniques, we transform marble dust and offcuts into raw materials for stunning creations. From tiles to luminaires, each piece not only showcases sustainability but also embodies the intrinsic beauty of marble’s imperfections. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, we celebrate the beauty of brokenness, where the cracks in Mira Luminaire become pathways for light, revealing the intricate dance between shadow and illumination. Just as in life, where individual fragments may appear fragmented when united, they form a harmonious whole, inviting contemplation and connection.

Step into the ethereal world of Mira Luminaire, where artistry and technology intertwine to transcend the ordinary. Crafted from fractured pieces of marble, Mira exudes a raw and captivating beauty, where the play of light through its cracks evokes a sense of wonder and introspection. Inspired by the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, Mira embraces impermanence and the beauty of transience, reminding us of the inherent beauty in decay and renewal. As observers interact with Mira, they become part of its narrative, triggering a mesmerizing dance of light and shadow that mirrors the ebb and flow of life itself. Each fracture tells a story, each beam of light a glimpse into the delicate balance between chaos and order. Experience the magic of Mira Luminaire as it invites you to embrace the beauty of imperfection and find solace in the ever-changing tapestry of existence.
Join us at Milano Design Week as we redefine the boundaries of design, sustainability, and human connection. Immerse yourself in a world where innovation and creativity converge, and witness the birth of a new era in design. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this transformative experience.
