Less prickly than its ocean counterpart, the Arturo Alvarez Coral Sea Urchin Pendant recalls the textural beauty of coral reefs and sea environments. Made from SIMETECH®, a stainless steel mesh developed by Alvarez, the groundbreaking material adapts to the design, facilitating new modes of expressive light. The scintillating light glows and obscures, enhancing the lacy texture with an atmospheric warmth. The voluminous shape is inherently organic, echoing the richness of ocean coral as if shaped from the ebb and flow of ocean currents. A company marked by excellence in inventive materials, Arturo Alvarez was founded in 1994 in Spain and continues to push the envelope with truly unique lighting solutions. Always in search of new textures and techniques, Arturo Alvarez has taken it upon himself to develop his own materials, which have received high profile awards for innovation. Such ingenuity and hard work resulted in SIMETECH®, a handmade material created with stainless steel mesh that was patented in 2014. By embracing organic forms and cutting edge technology, Arturo Alvarez strives to create original lighting through constant investigation and discovery.
