The “måne” series of delicately carved moons summon visions of the palely-lit twilight of deep winter in the Nordic region. Embodying the waxing-waning edge of the moon’s cycle through panels of wood illuminated by internal LEDs, each sculpture bears the name of one of dozens of planetary moons across the solar system. As with much of Egeværk’s furniture, the sculptures’ elegant finish brings out the nuanced grain of the wood, which shares something of the illusory contours and shadowy concavities visible on our own moon’s surface.

Fumed oak, silver and LED light. We emulate the lunar regolith on the backsides of our sculptures by applying silver leaf by hand and polishing it roughly, allowing the wood and silver to merge. This creates a surface that reflects light in a magical
way.
The 3 Moons in this installation can either be mounted on a ceiling or on a wall.
