About the Item
"Arc of Light" is a unique work carved from a single piece of white alabaster and handcrafted by master artisans in Volterra. This extraordinary, perfectly sized object was created on the occasion of Volterra 2022, the year the city was named Italy's capital of culture. Inspired by the Etruscan Arch, still intact at the city's southern entrance, "Arch of Light" faithfully reproduces its proportions, harmoniously blending classical and contemporary elements into an elegant, minimalist design.
The size, 45x45x10 cm, makes it ideal for quick and easy shipping. The lamp has a cylindrical base, which gives it strong stability, and a bright three-dimensional arc, made possible by an internal LED that emits even, diffuse light. Every detail, from the hand polishing to the assembly of the two original slabs from the same block, reflects the skill and passion of the craftsmen, preserving a centuries-old tradition.
By purchasing this work, you receive not just a lamp, but a piece of Tuscan history and tradition.
