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.
