Longing is a handcrafted sculptural lighting piece by Studio AOAO, cast in gypsum and meticulously hand-carved before being finished with a matte varnish. Two hidden, dimmable lights sit inside the form, lighting it from within so the sculpture itself, rather than a separate visible fixture, becomes the source of the glow.
The piece applies traditional carving techniques to pigmented gypsum, producing varied, unpredictable textures inspired by natural patterns. It’s part of the Living Forms Collection, which draws on the intuitive philosophy of Henri Bergson — the idea that intuition extends naturally from the organism, rooted in primal human senses — translated into organic, abstract shapes that feel instinctively familiar despite being new.
The lamp can be customised to fit any country’s electrical standards, with further customisation of colour and size available from the studio.
