ln Australia you need four things to be considerad a town: a phone box, a letterbox, a cash machine frt used to be a bank Parachilna is one of the last towns before entering the Australian desert north of Adelaide. And those four things are all that Parachilna has today. It's on a railway line that used to connect with the oíd Ghan line that crosses Australia from North (Darwin) to South (Adelaide). The Ghan was an impressive work of the time and even today is an amazing machine powerful enough to run through 3.000 km of desert. The ñame of the line comes from the Afghan camel drívers that were brought to Australia to help explore the unknown desert for the first time, in the 19th century. Today no train stops over but the Parachilna oíd train station remains. The picture above shows two people waiting for a train that never stops. But they don't despair and one day that train, against all the logical odds, stops. It's a small tribute to faith and passion. And to those who, mighty like the Ghan, pick up passionate passengers like the two folks Because all deserte can be crossed. Because all trains stop even if there is no railway station. Because you do not need much to build up a town or your own dreams. Because stars always shine brighter in the desert. After many years of successful highs and occasional lows in the lighting sector, we decided to créate PARACHILNA. Dedicated to decorative lighting, PARACHILNA was born from our love of luxury. For us, luxury is about the integríty of the design, the quality of the materíals and the artisanal craftemanship that creates it. Preserving the skills and knowledge of the few remaining metalsmiths, glass blowers, ceramicists and other skilled craftsmen that still remain in Europe and we hope, in other parte of the world. We trust that we will f ind kindred spirite in our pursuit of these skills in every city of the f ive continente, our passion is to work with designers from every córner of the globe.

En Australia, para poder ser considerado un pueblo se precisan cuatro requisitos: una cabina telefónica, un buzón, un cajero automático (en el pasado, un banco) y un pub. Parachilna siendo uno de los últimos reductos civilizados antes de adentrarse en el desierto australiano al norte de Adelaida es lo que tiene en la actualidad. Situada en la vía ferroviaria que solía conectar con la antigua línea del Ghan, el tren que recorre Austarlia, cruzando de norte (Darwin) a sur (Adelaida). El Ghan fue y sigue siendo una impresionante obra de ingeniería. Una poderosa locomotora capaz de recorrer...

Stephen Burks's design has always been strongly influenced by ethnic craftsmanship. He understood PARACHILNA'S spirit at first sight and challenged us with a geometrically simple, yet complex metal structure that put our metalsmiths to the test. Individually welding 96 steel rods, each 4 mm in diameter in a 20 cm ring, takes not only a good deal of time but also a great deal of expertise. Master metalsmith, Carlos pushed himself to the limit to make Stephen's visión possible. The finish is the perfect mix of nickel, brass, copper or graphite dispersed across nearly a hundred steel rods on...

The three structures 30, 45 and 90 can be assembled in couples. In order to do that, two structures plus one electric group is needed. Note that the electrical group finish always has to match with the upper structure finish (see example). Leds moduls are placed between both structures. Provide ambience light. Las tres estructuras 45, 30 y 90 pueden ensamblarse de dos en dos. Para ello se precisan dos estructuras más un grupo eléctrico. El acabado del grupo eléctrico siempre debe coincidir con el acabado de la estructura superior (ver ejemplo). Los módulos de leds están situados entre las...
