Linea Viva is a spatial light installation inspired by the organic structure of the vine, combining precisely bent stainless steel with handcrafted glass elements. The light concealed within the glass enhances the sense of inner energy, pulsating between architecture and nature with an almost invisible vitality. The project was created specifically for Aya Estate Vineyards.
