The New Kushi Wood Edition: A Tribute to Nature
Kundalini, the innovative Italian lighting brand introduces the Kushi Wood Edition as a “Tribute to Nature.”
In November of 2018, severe storms ripped through the Italian Dolomites, causing “unprecedented damage.” Hardest hit was Paneveggio Park, where legendary luthier Antonio Stradivari collected wood for his violins. Over 1.5 million trees in “Violin’s Forest” were uprooted by 110 mph winds, putting the livelihoods of wood suppliers and instrument-makers who prize the region’s spruce wood, at risk.
The ground was littered with spruce, a waste that tugged at the hearts of wood suppliers, luthiers, musicians, artists, and creators around the world. Motivated to make a “small but significant difference” Kundalini was part of an initiative to recover and recycle part of the felled wood. This became the inspiration behind Kushi Wood Edition.
