Inspired by their shared fascination with light and its role in creating a unique ambiance, founders Eddie Kurayev and Albert Akbashev have crafted a truly remarkable sculpture. “Bright Idea” takes the shape of a vintage light bulb and showcases the intricate beauty of disassembled watch movements from timepieces between 50 and 100 years old.
This limited-edition vintage-inspired piece pays homage to a bygone era when incandescent bulbs were commonplace, now replaced by LED technology. By repurposing these historical components, Berd Vay’e breathes new life into them, allowing them to be appreciated once more. The transformation marked by the government’s ban on vintage light bulbs adds an element of historical relevance to this stunning creation.
We are thrilled to announce that “Bright Idea” has been selected as the first piece to be sold at the prestigious Sotheby’s auction on June 9th—a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and unique character. The sculpture will surely pique the interest of collectors who appreciate vintage artifacts and one-of-a-kind works of art.
