Why Anima Soulight

anima soulight lamps

How often have you stopped yourself in any home décor department and thought: “Does any of these things have a story behind them?”.

Let me guess: probably never. That is reasonable, after all. In the modern era, the real purpose of a product is to be sold or to be bought. Most of the time, there is no real explanation for why some manufactured things are born. One day, they appear in this world, have a harmful, neutral, or huge impact on it, and then disappear when people set their attention on something else.

This is what we call “the natural product life cycle.” 

But you could be surprised to know that sometimes even small and simple objects -such as lamps- can become part of a new creative frontier in sustainable design and improve thousands of people’s quality of life. That is the case with Anima Soulight’s lamps.

The origins of Anima Soulight

Anima Soulight is an innovative Italian project that combines ancient customs and modernity.

The first spark of this idea was born in Bali, a magnificent land full of temples, natural resources, and wonders from which thousands of artists worldwide take inspiration.

From the beginning, the Anima Soulight designers’ goal was to create something different that could shed light on the secular Indonesian culture while keeping the simplicity of today’s Italian interior design. That is why they began to travel around the island and experience the everyday life of its inhabitants in search of the right inspiration.

The Italian stylists did not have to wait too long, after all, because one thing became clear very soon – that is, most of Bali’s different communities have been sharing a shared passion for centuries: craftsmanship – especially among women.

The role of women artisans in Bali society and the Anima Soulight project

Through years and generations, mothers and daughters have been able to lay the foundations of a fascinating history of embroidery that still blooms in all its splendor and makes Bali needleworks one of the most sought-after products in Southeast Asia.

Observing most of the women artisans’ dedication and love for their creations was a fundamental design stage because it was so enlightening for the Anima Soulight stylists that finally, they were able to find the perfect object that could combine all those elements they wanted to put in their project: lamps – or more precisely, satin and stain-less lamps.

Every designed product by Anima Soulight wants to call to mind the typical shapes of the Indonesian natural environment, Hindu images, and sewing patterns passed down through generations to create extraordinary Hindu ceremonial dresses. Each lamp is unique because it hides little pieces of Bali people’s history – like many Pandora’s boxes with different shapes and colors.

But at the same time, you can see how clear and simple the lines are and how this makes the final object harmonious and adaptable in a classic and modern space, consistently meeting and satisfying the customers’ needs.

The goal of promoting handcrafted production

In terms of manufacturing processes, another essential factor to underline (and never underestimate) is that the Anima Soulight project contrasts any form of mass production. This choice sets waste prevention on the use of energy as its biggest goal and guarantees the durability and long life of the products.

Global warming is a threat society cannot ignore any longer. A sustainable future must be everyone’s final purpose, even for all those fields that are not part of environmental sciences. That’s why today’s green design exists and why Anima Soulight puts extraordinary attention to renewable resources and the quality of the sustainable materials that won’t have a harmful impact on nature and local communities. And though some minor imperfections can always be found, these are what make Anima Soulight handcrafted lamps even more characteristic and unique.
