Product description Specification

In Greek mythology, Nepenthes is a mythical potion that banishes grief and induces forgetfulness. The name, derived from the Ancient Greek νηπενθές (ne = not, penthos = grief), appears in Homer’s Odyssey, where the elixir - Nepenthes pharmakon-is gifted to Helen by an Egyptian queen to ease her sorrows.

Inspired by this mythical remedy, Nepenthes Tendril draws its name and form from the carnivorous plant genus Nepenthes, part of the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. First classified by Carolus Linnaeus in 1737 in Hortus Cliffortianus, the Nepenthaceae are known for their flamboyant, seductive morphology. They passively lure their prey with vivid coloration, sweet scents, and sugary nectar - danger masked as beauty.

The fixture embodies these dualities through a sculptural interplay of opposing materials and forms. Interlocking solid brass tendrils create a structure of rigorous geometry - masculine, assertive, and unyielding - while amorphous hand-blown glass elements introduce a glowing softness, echoing the fluid allure of the plant’s interior.

Nepenthes Tendril is a meditation on attraction and danger, on grief and its transcendence. As the plant entices to consume, so too does the object seduce the gaze - offering light not merely as function, but as a luminous, narcotic presence suspended in space.
