ENERGY A little light, a memory of the Greek summer
A glass bottle once used for tsipouro becomes a vessel for light. Small pebbles collected on a beach in Lefkada, Greece, form a label on its surface, while reclaimed pine and copper complete the composition.
For me, Energy holds something of a Greek summer — the sea, the feeling of sharing a drink and the dreamlike ease of those moments.
Twenty small LED lights illuminate the bottle from within, revealing the glass, pebbles and surrounding textures.
Designed and handmade by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis in his Dreamodelers studio in Greece. Original design: 2021.
THE SCONCE YOU WILL RECEIVE
Choose ONE sconce or a PAIR using the listing options. The price corresponds to the option selected.
Three completed sconces are currently available: • One with the bottle-cap finish shown in the original product photographs. • Two with gold-painted bottle caps.
Please confirm your preferred available finish before ordering. Photographs of the exact sconce or pair selected will be provided before dispatch.
The two gold-cap sconces can be selected together as a coordinated pair. Each handmade piece has individual characteristics in its reclaimed wood, pebbles and surface details.
LIMITED SERIES
Energy belongs to a limited series of a maximum of twelve individually handmade sconces.
Three have already been created. Up to nine additional sconces may be produced.
The limit applies to individual sconces, not pairs. Each sconce will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity recording its individual series number.
MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
The backing is made from reclaimed pine collected near the sea. Its grain, weathered marks and irregularities remain part of the artwork.
A copper tube connects the wooden backing to the repurposed glass tsipouro bottle.
Small natural pebbles collected on a beach in Lefkada are attached to the outside of the bottle, forming a tactile label. The pebbles are included as part of the composition.
Inside the bottle, a string of twenty small LED lights creates decorative ambient illumination.
BATTERY OPERATION
Each sconce operates with three AA batteries, which are included.
The battery holder and on/off switch are recessed into the back of the wooden backing.
This listing offers the battery-operated version only. No mains connection, external power supply or plug adapter is required.
Access to the back is needed to operate the switch and replace the batteries. Please consider this when choosing the installation position.

INSTALLATION AND CARE
For indoor use only.
Use wall fixings suitable for the wall construction and the weight of the sconce. Check that it is securely supported after installation.
Handle by supporting the wooden backing. Do not lift or pull the sconce by the bottle, copper tube or attached pebbles.
Switch off before cleaning. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or cloth. Do not immerse the artwork or spray cleaning liquids onto it.
Keep away from moisture, direct heat and open flames.
Natural marks and irregularities in the reclaimed wood and pebbles form part of the artwork’s character. Colours and the appearance of the lighting may vary slightly between screens and ambient conditions.
