Sculptures, Not Decoration
A Harmony & Apollo object is not made to disappear on a shelf. It is a room sculpture — and deserves the space, lighting, and context of a sculpture.
Rule 1: Give It Space
A sculptural object needs air. At least 40 cm of clearance on each side. The form works through its silhouette, and that only unfolds with space.
Rule 2: Light Is Everything
Premium lacquer reacts to light like few other materials. Side lighting emphasizes depth. Overhead light creates dramatic reflections. A targeted spot transforms a object into a light object.
Rule 3: Create Contrast
Dark objects on light ground. Light objects against dark walls. The color contrast between object and surroundings determines the impact. With Xirallic finishes like Viola Prisma, a neutral background amplifies the color-shift effect.
Rule 4: Odd Numbers
For group compositions: always odd numbers (3 or 5 objects). Different heights, same or related color family. The composition feels more natural and dynamic than symmetrical pairs.
Rule 5: Plinths and Pedestals
Large objects (120–160 cm) look best directly on the floor. Smaller formats (30–80 cm) gain presence on a plinth or pedestal. Plinth material: concrete, marble, or lacquered MDF in the wall color works best.
