Light at the bottom of the bottle

PROTECT STATUS: not protected
Longread translated automatically

The «Light at the Bottom of the Bottle» lighting collection is dedicated to the people society has grown accustomed to overlooking. Its protagonists include alcoholics, loners, and other marginalized individuals.

Each fixture presents a portrait transformed into a source of light. At the core of the collection is the idea of seeking warmth. For many people, the bottle becomes an attempt to fill an internal void—a search for comfort, a sense of coziness, or human connection. The light emanating from the fixtures symbolizes the ardent passion within the characters.

The collection features objects for various use-cases, from everyday home use to commercial establishments like bars and restaurants.

Warm, diffused light accentuates the expressiveness of the faces, transforming familiar images of marginalized individuals into human stories. The collection invites viewers to see these people not through social labels, but through their yearning for warmth, understanding, and a light that, despite everything, remains within every person.

Lamp «Lost Life»

big
Original size 1122x1402

The «Lost Life» lamp depicts a solitary figure sitting on a construction block. Its hunched posture, lowered head, and closed silhouette create an image of someone who has endured difficult life events. The lamp does not tell a specific story, leaving the viewer the opportunity to imagine for themselves what losses, mistakes, or circumstances led the protagonist to this state.

The source of light is a translucent element at the center of the figure. The warm amber glow evokes the heat that many use as a way to briefly warm up, escape, or disconnect from reality. The light becomes a metaphor for the warmth the character is trying to find at the bottom of the bottle.

«Pure, Unfiltered Soul»

0

«Clear, Unfiltered Soul”—a wall-mounted decorative light fixture rendered in the form of a bas-relief portrait of a person drinking. The image is built upon the contrast between the visible marks of a difficult life and the hero’s inner goodness. Despite the bruise under his eye, the broken nose, and missing teeth, the character maintains a sincere smile and an open gaze.

The fixture belongs to the „Light at the Bottom of the Bottle“ collection, which is dedicated to people who seek warmth and comfort in alcohol. Unlike the first piece in the collection, this image focuses not on loss, but on the preservation of humanity despite life’s circumstances.

The soft, diffused light passing through the glass housing accentuates the expressiveness of the face, creating a warm atmosphere suitable for both residential interiors and public spaces—such as restaurants, bars, and hotels.

«The Face of the Streets»

Original size 1024x1536

«Faces of the Street» is a floor lamp crafted in the form of an enlarged portrait of an elderly person, rendered in colored glass mosaic with internal illumination. The imagery is based on the collective nature of people one encounters daily on city streets—individuals whose stories often go unnoticed.

The light filtering through the translucent mosaic elements transforms the portrait into a distinct source of warmth and focus. The lamp is part of the «Light at the Bottom of the Bottle» collection and symbolizes a person who maintains their presence in the world despite life’s hardships, loneliness, and social alienation.
