Description
Minarets solar eclipse. Ideal for home or professional spaces and suitable for installation in walls only.
The Median Sconce series plays with the relationship between what is solid and what is permeable. Warm fluted brass and translucent alabaster planes reference traditional Middle Eastern jewelry, emanating a warm, ethereal glow elegantly sheathed in a layer of translucent grandeur. Sculptural and modular, the sconces may be styled as stand-alone adornments or clustered in pairings for a bespoke creation. Available in four sizes.
Gabriel Hendifar, artistic director and CEO of the New York-based lighting and furniture design studio is emerging on the international design scene. In 2019 his former partner in life and work, Jeremy Anderson joined him. After the couple separated in late 2020, Gabriel created Apparatus to focus on his active and thriving ceramic art practice. Since then, Hendifar has taken the reins of the company. Each object, explains Hendifar, is part of his Iranian family history, mainly his grandmother. His parents, who fled Iran in 1979 and settled in Los Angeles in the early 1980s, were both musicians. When he was a child, he loved watching his father play the Persian drum while his mother sang and played the piano. He inherited this sense of spectacle.

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican “Toba volcánica” stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement.
The contrast between porous textures and smooth dark red underlines the studios contemporary approach on traditional materials and craft. The connecting components between the sculptural stone elements and the aluminium parts originate from an intensive research of linking unique handmade shapes with industrial parts.
