About the Item

Pia Maria Raeder is committed to interpreting her own abstract vision of nature. She has become globally known for her ’Sea Anemone’ series that reflects the beauty found on the ocean floor. Work by the artist is included in the permanent collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, France. Reminiscent of biomorphic forms, her sculptures are handcrafted from thousands and thousands of simple beechwood elements, wooden rods (‘Sea Anemone’ series) or wooden pearls (‘Stardust’ series) that are patiently arranged one by one. The breath of life seems to animate these organic creations, like the echo of a nature that is not imitated but is rather harnessed and experienced. According to Pia Maria’s own words: "With my work, I try to create pieces which are as vibrant, unique and surprising as Nature." More than 350 hours of work and 27,000 beech rods are necessary to produce this spectacular 'Sea Anemone' mirror that includes seven mirrors in clear glass. The application of white lacquer on the rods transforms the wood and underlines its movements. Emancipated from its limits, the wood hence transformed into undulating living forms is offered a newfound freedom. Launched in 2016, the ‘Sea Anemone’ collection now includes more than twenty pieces, encompassing many typologies in which function and poetry fuse: side and coffee tables, wall and freestanding mirrors, armchairs, chandeliers, floor lamps and table lamps, vases.
