The creation of Olympia has been slow and laborious.

 

I wanted to make a dazzling, brilliant lamp, a fascinating and admirable piece.

 

The chrome in most of its structure achieves this effect while the glass, in addition to giving the whole piece a certain fragility, which contrasts with its robust personality and hypnotizes us with the beam of green light inside.

 

Its central axis is strongly reminiscent of an Olympic torch with a glass handle and topped by a domed green “flame”.

 

It is very robotic-looking and seems to have the ability, like the famous “Transformers” toys, to alter its appearance and change into alternate forms thanks to its two hubcap-made screens.

 

The shape of its silhouette, as well as its shape and appearance does not leave anyone indifferent, it attracts attention, enchants and gives back sensuality.
