AM Sideboard Lighting in Purple Niobium by Claudia Moreira Salles

This "Sintonia Fina" limited edition sideboard is made with reclaimed walnut wood, copper and purple niobium - a rare mineral, found in Brazil, used mainly in alloys to strengthen steel.

The design of the Sintonia Fina series explores the contrast between straight thin lines and rounded shapes, warm and cold materials and the delicate balance of the niobium bowls on the copper stems.

The niobium parts of the lamps are made from sheets of the pure mineral and submitted to a controlled electrolysis process resulting in a surface with a large spectrum of colors without the use of pigments. The result is different from any stained or painted material. The wood bases come from pieces that were once architectural beams, rafters and doorsills. This piece is made of walnut wood. Copper tubes is used to connect parts and its color brings a warm touch.
