bichos

WHEN WE CREATE SOMETHING IT FEELS AS IF WE ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP WITH IT. IN THAT PROCESS, SOMEHOW WE GIVE IT A SPIRIT OF ITS OWN.

‘Bichos’ are hand-made lamps and each branch is unique. The light source of every member of the family is made by textile-covered electrical cord that runs through each piece in a different way, resembling blood as a life-giving source.

These species are born from the pruning of Portuguese Holm (Holly) Oak trees. ‘Bichos’ seek to be part of a waste-minimising life cycle: from discarded branch, to lamp, to firewood, in the end.
