Marta Cypel is an Italian artist and designed based in Lisbon.
Her work has been exhibited in galleries in Paris, Lisbon, and Istanbul. She creates one-of-a-kind pieces and small series that bring together hand-painted ceramics and contemporary metal elements.
Each light she creates is a fragment of a story, rooted in the memory of the buildings she once called home. The gentle curves of Milanese Art Nouveau, the sharp elegance of Parisian Art Deco.
Her hand is always visible. Every piece carries the mark of being made, not manufactured, imbuing each light with its own character.
Hand built or thrown in her Lisbon studio, every light is formed in stoneware and glazed with her own blends of glazes. Shapes may shift slightly, whites may gleam or soften, lines may blur or sharpen. This is the nature of work made slowly, with intention.
Each light can be mounted to shine upward or downward, as the space, or the story, requires.
