Peria takes its name from the periactoi—the rotating stage devices used in ancient Greek theatres to change scenery. This reference directly informs the design’s core ideas of stage, transformation, and narrative.
The body, carved from natural stone, is conceived as an architectural fragment, evoking the feeling of a piece detached from an ancient stage and carried into the present. Softened breaks and carefully controlled voids ease the mass of the stone, creating a sculptural balance. The lighting element placed above completes this “stage fragment” through light.
Peria is not merely a lighting object, but a contemporary interpretation of the relationship once established between space, scenery, and storytelling. Through the dialogue between light, stone, and form, Peria creates a quiet yet powerful narrative within the space.
