Lume
Imagining that the spirit, sense and use of a musical instrument also resides in the subtlety of know-how, we appealed to a stringed instrument maker to realize the Lume. The Lume is neither a musical instrument nor a lamp, but a 'tool' to 'play of light'. Lume is an object to practice. It can be successively an auxiliary lighting, a portable lamp, a night light... a light source and a means to contemplate it. Entirely made of wood, the Lume produces the quality of fire light, and evocates the presence of hearth.
