Inspired by the beauty of the Luxor obelisk, its powerful symbolism and epic transportation from Luxor to Paris, our latest collection KISSED BY A SUNBEAM explores the appropriation of this Egyptian masterpiece into the Parisian Landscape and the dialogue between these two contrasting environments.
Collaborating in tandem the SUNBEAM RING and SUNBEAM PENDANT refer to the genesis of the Luxor obelisk, when it stood next to its twin sister at the entrance of the Heliopolis Temple in Egypt more than 3000 years ago .
