RED TREE An imagined window onto the countryside
For me, Red Tree evokes a countryside home, with an imagined window opening onto a meadow with trees. When illuminated, its painted landscapes invite daydreaming, a sense of escape and quiet relaxation.
Twelve double-sided, hand-painted cardboard elements surround the light. Red trees against yellow skies bring together painting and sculptural form, revealing different views as you move around the sconce.
Designed and handmade by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis in his Dreamodelers studio in Greece. Original design: 2019.
THE SCONCE YOU WILL RECEIVE
This listing is for ONE newly handmade Red Tree wall sconce. The photographed original is no longer available and serves as the reference for your commission.
Your sconce will follow its overall form, colour palette and countryside imagery. Small differences in the hand-painted trees, landscape details and assembly will give each version its individual character.
Photographs of your completed sconce will be sent to you for approval before dispatch.
LIMITED SERIES
Red Tree belongs to a limited series of a maximum of twelve individually handmade versions of this particular composition.
One version has already been created. Up to eleven additional versions may be produced.
Other works created using the same construction concept but featuring different painted compositions are separate designs.
The sequential version number will be recorded on the accompanying Certificate of Authenticity.
MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE
The sculptural structure combines a plastic tube, recycled cardboard and copper wire.
Twelve cardboard elements are painted on both sides with acrylic colours. A water-based matte varnish containing wax protects the painted surfaces and gives them a subtle sheen.

LIGHTING AND INSTALLATION
The light illuminates the painted elements and creates decorative ambient lighting around the sconce.
The sconce connects directly to the wall’s electrical supply through a terminal block. It has no plug or integrated switch and should be operated through the wall switch controlling that supply.
Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The included E14 LED bulb is rated for 220 V. For countries with a different mains voltage, the buyer must obtain an E14 LED bulb suitable for the local supply, such as 110–120 V for the United States.
The sconce uses a wired E14 lamp holder without a transformer or integrated LED driver. The installing electrician should confirm that its electrical components and connection are suitable for the local installation.
Use LED bulbs only. Do not use incandescent or halogen bulbs.

PRODUCTION AND DISPATCH
Creating your sconce normally requires approximately 4–5 days.
