Roshnee Lamp, a Marble and Dyed Wood Floor Lamp, Matang and Natasha Sumant

About the Item

Natasha Sumant and Matang Roshnee The circular and concave white marble shade decorated with dyed cotton rope supported with an indigo dyed wood stem on a white marble cylindrical base. Roshnee in Hindi means light, and the form reflects the yellow luminescence of the tropical light of the subcontinent. This floor lamp is designed to illuminate the space in an indirect way, creating the atmosphere of an eclipse where the light goes through the white marble revealing its imperfections. White marble from Makrana, a district in Rajasthan, the marble of the Taj Mahal was used as a tribute to the Mughal tradition of marble carving. The temple sculptors have been transmitting their knowledge of this Craft through many generations. By working with them, Natasha Sumant and Matang attempted to implement generations of traditional Indian knowledge and heritage Craft, to a contemporary representation of the culture. The central stem is dyed with indigo, one of the first plants India was colonized for. Drawing from natural dyeing techniques in Assam, three key materials were combined to build the rope color palette : turmeric, madder root, and annatto seeds, all spices essential to the colonial trade. Contemporary production. Matang Matang is an architectural and furniture practice between Paris and Mumbai, created by Lucien Dumas. A practice exploring the relation between the different stones from Rajasthan with European wood. A relation between Indian temple sculptors, working with the same stones for decades, with a french contemporary carpentry. A process built around the natural materials from a territory, their expressions, the way they are meeting and the hands shaping them. As an interface, these sensitive objects express a skill, a culture, a relation to stone, wood, earth. By embodying the essence of a territory, these projects reveal the relation made by men and their environment.
