‘Collectible’, having made a geographical circle and opened in New York, is back in Brussels. The Collectible Design Fair selects unusual, innovative, visionary projects, nothing banal or boring. This year, more than ever, there are so many original lighting art objects. Maybe it’s my selective perception and I wanted more ‘light’. ‘Collectible’ Design Festival from 13 to 16 March 2025 is a ‘must see’ in Belgium cultural agenda.
My horoscope is a Cancer, my heavenly patron saint is Moon and I immediately fell in love with this art object at the ‘Collectible’ design festival, a lamp by Belgian designer Vadim A.F.Popowsky from Antwerp.
‘Moon is an elegant and revolutionary object for the home. Precisely synchronised with the moon at your location, it always shows the exact phase of the moon.
‘The lamp cannot be controlled, there is no switch. This is an invitation: by relinquishing control, you embrace patience and humility. The moon, as a symbol of the universe, operates on its own powerful and complex terms, beyond our whims. Placed in your home, she is a quiet reminder of forces far more powerful than us.
In a world obsessed with control, this sublime design piece encourages us to be reflective, pushing us to ponder important questions and gain a deeper understanding of the dance of the moon, the universe and our place in it.’
