About the Item
Maratus Sculptural Horsehair and Bronze Pendant Lamp by Isabel Moncada
Dimensions: Ø 165 x H 90 cm.
Materials: Bronze, brass and horsehair tassels.
Weight: 14 kg.
A chestnut horse with a white tail is called Palomino, it is dashing and atypical.
This lamp is an allegory of its sumptuous presence. The vintage finish accentuates the volume and vigor of the bronze pieces that make up this skeleton with shiny translucent strands of natural horsehair. This pendand lamp is made of cast bronze pieces, 12 lights with horsehair tassels, turned brass fittings and rayon sheathed electric cord.
When I bring to life my luminaires, I enter this fictional world where each lamp is a creature and I find myself meeting their ánima (“spirit” in English). They all have a positively vain nature with a function that goes beyond the utilitarian. Their role is to shine and to be the center of attention.
While the spaces that welcome them are static, my luminaires manifest movement with their fluid and irregular shapes and lines. They put on a show, where their role is to raise the spirits of a space or to disrupt and contrast
with the straight, rigid lines of the room.
My chandeliers are divas with a temperament of their own. Their true function is to be seen, to be dramatic, and to be protagonists. Inspired by nature, they are not figurative. Their organic silhouettes can be interpreted in unlimited ways. They could be spiders, have bones, legs, vertebrae, nails, hair, or eyes. They could also be skeletons, branches, cells, or viruses, it’s all up to the viewer’s imagination.
In the exhibition, “Una modernidad hecha a mano”, I decided to try a new version of the Maratus lamp. Motivated by the exhibition’s scenario, I wanted to propose a piece that would lean more towards artistic than utilitarian, and
perhaps visually uncomfortable for the spectators.
I applied a dark patina to the bronze in order to eliminate the golden shine of the polished metal. I wanted to show, in an accelerated manner, how patina naturally metamorphoses when not polished. I also concealed the lightbulbs with horsehair tassels. I came across a new creature, a type of hairy arachnid, and I felt satisfied with the result.
Maratus is the name of a spider that reveals a type of war bonnet in order to distract its prey or a predator. Similar to a peacock, it displays an explosion of colors and shapes that mimic two gigantic eyes.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
