Harem: The Threshold between Light and Secret.
From the atmospheres of Istanbul to the sacred geometry of the Mashrabiya. A collection that interprets the intimacy of feminine worlds through skillful carvings in matter, crystallizing space into a living sundial vibrant with memory and mystery
The Harem collection is born from a refined inspiration gathered during Vanessa Stella’s travels through the atmospheres of Istanbul. It pays tribute to the intimacy of the gyneceum—protected worlds where reality was filtered through Mashrabiya: intricate lattice screens separating the sacred-private from the profane-public.
Translating Ottoman allure through the rigor of Arabic architecture, Unica explores the abstraction of void and fullness. Through sacred geometry, intentional patterns follow mathematical proportions that create shifting shadows, transforming each piece into a living ‘sundial’.
Unica’s creations crystallize this memory into living presences, where matter dialogues with light in an ancient harmony that lives on through UNICA’s Italian design.
