Ursa Major for Studio Kër by Costantini
Engaging with concepts of hearth and gathering, “Ursa” casts an inviting glow from beneath its canopy referencing the thatched roofs of archetypal shogun home style buildings found in the African states Benin and Mali, as well as Louisiana. The illumination the lamp provides is informed by the glow of Black folk’s oiled skin, round eyes and gold teeth.
Dimensions: 17.8 x 17.8 x 56
Materials: Goat Skin, Bronze Sheet, Lighting Components
