A flame-like sculptural light in a modern living room

Several tall, curved panels rise from a compact base, folding around one another to create a flame-like silhouette. Their edges sweep upward in uneven arcs, and rows of small perforations allow warm light to appear as a field of dots across the surfaces. The brightest area sits near the center and lower portion, while the upper tips remain slender and dark-edged. This combination of solid-looking curves and punctuated light gives the object a sense of depth: some panels seem to turn toward the viewer, while others recede. The sculpture occupies the foreground of a calm living room, where a sofa, low tables, and broad windows form a more horizontal arrangement behind it. That contrast makes the upright shape feel especially prominent without requiring additional decoration around its base. Amber light picks up the wood floor and the neutral upholstery, connecting the object to the room through color. The perforations also create a visual rhythm that differs from the large, unbroken surfaces of the furniture. Its flame reference is conveyed through the upward motion and layered tips, not through a literal depiction of fire.
