The muxarabi is an architectural element created by the Arabs to partially close environments so that those inside can have a full view of the outside, but in order to preserve their privacy (its main function in the Arab world was to protect women from male gazes). . In India they are called Jali.

Ancient temple guardians said that Jalis served as filters for energy, letting the light of the soul free. The light that penetrates the temples turns into a kaleidoscope and teaches that nothing is definitive, and that everything is transformed to give way to another look.

In the colonial period, these elements were readapted for the architecture of tropical countries to control sunlight and preserve ventilation within spaces, maintaining a pleasant temperature. These same architectural elements gave rise to the metal railings present today in the windows of houses and suburbs in several cities in Brazil.
This lamp is based on wooden Jalis, but presented in a graphic similar to that of contemporary railings. With this concept, we explore the mix of different eras and all the sensuality of light that these beautiful architectural objects provide.
