SEA ANEMONE 16

Creator: Pia Maria Raeder
Offered by: Galerie BSL

Description
From simple beechwood rods, German artist Pia Maria Raeder creates refined functional sculptures reminiscent of biomorphic forms. She has become globally known for her ’Sea Anemone’ collection that reflects the beauty found on the ocean floor. According to Pia Maria’s own words: "With my work, I try to create pieces which are as vibrant, unique and surprising as Nature."

Each the fruit of hundreds of working hours, her ‘Sea Anemone’ sculptures are handcrafted from thousands of beechwood rods that are cut, sanded and arranged one by one. More than 25,000 beech rods are necessary to produce this 'Sea Anemone' ceiling light sculpture. The application of light grey lacquer on the rods transforms the wood and underlines its movements. This piece includes four elements in white and smoked grey blown glass, one on each side. Emancipated from its limits, the wood hence transformed into undulating living forms is offered a newfound freedom. The breath of life seems to animate these organic creations, like the echo of a nature that is not imitated but is rather harnessed and experienced.

Launched in 2016, the ‘Sea Anemone’ collection now includes twenty pieces, encompassing many typologies in which function and poetry fuse: side and coffee tables, wall and freestanding mirrors, armchairs, chandeliers, floor lamps and table lamps, vases.
