The cycle of the montado and the light sculpted by time.
Share
Born from the heart of the Alentejo, RECO is a celebration of the vital cycle of the montado and the organic shapes that nature sculpts in the silence of the earth. This unique piece is crafted from a recovered piece of holm oak, a dense, dark wood marked by years, salvaged after forest maintenance work.
Observing the geometry of the stump, the tree and the random cuts made by man had already shaped everything: an expressive silhouette that recalls the snout of the animal which, over generations, found its sustenance in the holm oak. We call it RECO, in an affectionate tribute to the ancient cycle that unites the tree, the acorn, the animal, and the earth.
The contrast between the deep rusticity of the dark wood, the solid brass lampholder with a rotary switch, and the warm glow of the amber filament bulb (2200K) creates a uniquely welcoming atmosphere. When lit, the light envelops the knots and grooves of the wood, transforming this piece into a living sculpture that brings the memory and warmth of an Alentejan twilight into your home.
📦 Unique Piece (01/01): Entirely handmade in our atelier in Portugal. Because it is sculpted from holm oak wood, this lamp is unrepeatable - there is not, and never will be, another identical example in the world.
