Hoi Kaloi has produced a lighting solution that references an archetypal ancient aqueduct to create a luminous conduit for the home.

Austere in its beauty yet modestly playful, this marble lamp casually references classicism through its elegant profile and noble materiality, while nodding towards the postmodern.

The work was created with local material. Three distinct Greek marble types were chosen: Chios in dark brown, Ioannina in warm grey and the classic Pentelic in bright white. Non-local travertine was added as a reclaimed material option, its origin justified due to its familiarity and abundant presence in the Athenian built environment of the 1960s and 1970s.

This project has been longlisted in the lighting design category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
