Handcrafted lamp in silver mica & patinated steel – Halley Nova

Halley Nova. The subtle shimmer of silver mica, the dark depth of a black-brown iridescent patinated steel base. A handcrafted luminaire that plays with light and reveals its essence.

The natural mica sheet lampshade, once lit, reveals a pearlescent, shimmering surface — each silver reflection changing with the angle and intensity of the light. Paired with the cubic black-brown steel base with iridescent reflections, the ensemble creates a subtle dialogue between the luminous minerality of the mica and the deep matte finish of the patinated metal.

Once illuminated, the lamp casts a soft, shimmering light that enhances the natural reflections of the mica and reveals the full richness of the stone.

Technical Specifications

Natural Silver Mica Sheet

Mica is a natural mineral composed of fine layered strata. Processed into a translucent sheet without chemical alteration, it retains its original silver reflections. When light passes through it, it reveals a unique organic texture and offers a soft, soothing diffusion.

Iridescent Black-Brown Patinated Steel

The 12 cm cubic base is made of raw steel. The iridescent black-brown patina is achieved through a handcrafted oxidation process at the workbench: the thermal and chemical reaction creates deep nuances and subtle changing reflections, bringing warmth and authenticity to the metal.
