The two designs in the STRATOS collection are both totemic in design, structure and meaning. The more angular design is inspired by Mayan iconography and ritual and the concept of paying homage and giving thanks for each new sunrise, the daily emergence of the spirit of life (light) at dawn each morning.
The second more curvaceous design visually conveys the perpetual shape shifting, metamorphosis of cloud structure and formation (hence STRATOS).
“Both designs and their inspiration explore the themes of mutation, change and the eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth.” – Adam Court, OKHA
Physically, both structures illustrate this process; one face of each design is delicately and moderately worked whilst the opposing face is heavily transformed and in an advanced state of change / mutation / evolution; affirming that all things and all states coexist at once, rendering time without dimension, without meaning.
Both designs are available in waxed mild steel, polished brass, antique brass with wire brushed oak candle holders.
