khmara lamp makes a small universe at home: product by sergey makhno architects

imperfect yet white — subtle curved, a little bit of pale yet minimalist like a wabi sabi bowl set hanging upside down the ceiling. khmara lamp makes a series of light perfectly adjacent to one another, from big to small sizes, like a group of champignon mushrooms blurred in-between shady white terracotta walls.

the designer, sergey makhno architects’ called it as a cloud that never rains — nestled calmly to make a secondary companion of a spacious living room, or to make lighting substitution when natural light has faded away.

imagine space as an infinite universe, how it would be lonely to have a universe with an empty sky. can one ever imagine, one spring or summer skies without clouds? unoccupied, uninhabited, as if the atmosphere is vacant, left abandoned.

so does how sergey makhno sees a house as a small universe of human beings. a room of temporarily, a space of of laws and truths. where the ceiling is the only sky, and the surrounding objects are the living materials to breathe in life in the room.
