Aspire | Anatomy Of A Design: Avram Rusu Studio Looks To The Sea For The Marea Collection
Designer Andreea Avram Rusu looked below the surface for inspiration for her new Marea lighting collection. Translating to “the sea” in Romanian, the Marea collection is informed by Andreea’s childhood summers on the Black Sea and her love of scuba diving. We spoke with Andreea for this week’s Anatomy of a Design to see how the design came to life.
“I enjoy large-scale, bold, sculptural compositions grounded in beautifully engineered and crafted structural systems. Informed by my background as an architect, tango dancer, world traveler, and child of scientists, my creative process is rooted in sculptural intuition and specific formal concepts, combined with technical precision and an affinity for organic flow and natural materials. We usually work with full-scale mock-ups when developing new works rather than relying on digitally rendered models. I believe in a fully hands-on approach and taking time to refine the work with an emphasis on innovation and quality. All my work is made to order and built by hand in our Brooklyn studio.” – Andreea Avram Rusu
