Set Of 4 Còrbulas Wall Lamps By Pierluigi Piu In Marmo Bianco Diocleziano

In Sardinia, on the plains of Campidano, the round baskets, usually deep and wide, used to hold and measure flour and which women used to carry around balanced on their heads are called Corbulas. The set of four different Còrbulas wall lamps are made in Bianco Diocleziano marble. In the olden days they would decorate farmers’ houses by hanging groups of baskets together on the walls. This project uses this secondary use as its subject, highlighting the bottom section of the basket, which is its most elaborate part and to which a striking halo of light has been added. This item has been part of the exhibition MARMO on display at Artemest Galleria until May 2023.
