A.D.U. launches MOON, an elevated design object that functions as a quiet and inspirational presence in our homes.

Bio

Working with a close circle of technicians and artisans, A.D.U. Studios creates elevated design objects and installations that invite awe, contemplation, and daily ritual. 

"There is not a civilisation on earth, irrespective of religion, ideologies, and customs that has not gazed up at the moon and felt pangs of introspection and reflection. We have created an object that wants to evoke the same feeling." 
Vadim Fortunato, founder A.D.U. 

Studios MOON always shows the moon's real phase, as it appears from your location. It has two modes, set in the app or on the remote: they differ only in when the stone is lit. MOON collection is made of Alabaster which is prized for its translucency and natural veining. As light passes through the stone, cloudy formations emerge from within, revealing a remarkable depth and a landscape reminiscent of the moon. Every piece is unique.

Objects

Moon

MOON lights by itself when the moon is above the horizon and, from a growing crescent to a waning gibbous, it indicates the precise moon phase based on our position on earth and the time of day.
Once switched on, there is no switch to change the phase of the moon or to turn it off.
