on•entropy & Art Rug Project

Holy Luz is a striking collection of marble lights, furnishings, and a carpet set to make its debut this April at 5Vie, Milan’s most celebrated district for avant-garde art & design. Designed by on.entropy, the marble atelier founded by Greek-based duo Niki & Zoe Moskofoglou, and in collaboration with Art Rug Project, the acclaimed initiative by Electra Soutzouglou, the collection draws inspiration from the organic forms and functional elegance of fungi.

At the heart of the collection is a velvety, sculptural carpet, the atelier’s first-ever textile piece—a result born from the creator’s shared passion for original techniques, textures, and finishes, as they both have a deep-rooted, family history in traditional craftsmanship. The carpet’s rich textures and flowing forms are beautifully complemented by on.entropy’s sculptural marble lights and furnishings. These pieces embody a balance of voluptuous form and surprising lightness, transforming marble into fluid, jewel-like objects within a space.

Rooted in sensory exploration, Holy Luz is a celebration of texture, light, plasticity and the harmonious interplay of materials, inviting a new dialogue between marble and textile.

The Holy Luz collection of lights, furnishings, and a meticulously crafted rug is born from a sense of wonder toward Omphalotus nidiformis, the bioluminescent fungus native to the enchanted forests of Tasmania. This ethereal species, glowing softly in the darkness, has evolved its luminescence as a means of survival and reproduction—a captivating natural phenomenon that serves as the heart of this collection’s inspiration.

Fungi are often associated with decay and obscurity, yet their role in the natural world is one of profound transformation. By reinterpreting their delicate forms and otherworldly translucency in honey-hued marble and finely carved textiles, this collection seeks to redefine our perception of decay—not as an end, but as a beginning.

In a time of social instability and climate crisis, this redefinition becomes more than an artistic exploration—it is a necessary shift in perspective. Nature’s cycles of decomposition and renewal hold a vital lesson: what appears to be decline is often the precursor to regeneration. Just as fungi break down decaying matter to nourish new ecosystems, one can learn to embrace transformation, finding beauty and opportunity within processes of change, adaptation, and renewal.

Masterful craftsmanship breathes life into inert stone and fabric, mirroring nature’s ability to revitalize what is seemingly lifeless. Whether carved from marble or woven into golden fibers, each piece in the Holy Luz collection embodies a delicate balance between light and substance, fragility and strength, stillness and movement.

The result is a series of sculptural design objects that invite the user into a magical, sensory experience—one that bridges the mystical beauty of the natural world with the artistry of human creation, offering a luminous reminder that from every ending, new life can emerge.
