Lately I am mildy obsessed with these crazy light fixtures from Canopy Designs, available through the trade or in retail stores. Looking for something feminine or something organic-inspired or just plain zany? They’ve got you covered.
It would take some chutzpah to select one of these, but it is like jewelery for your home. In a boudoir, lady space, girls’ room (an awfully nice one, that is…) or even the right common space. These say happy, color and statement. I have used the small crystal ones, which can be customized with multiple colored beads to create a whimsical effect (in fact one is in my portfolio in olive and turquoise), but I find the branchy ones more profound.
1. Botanical Bell Jar 2. Branches B 3. Sara 4. Pagoda
I envision the Tord Boontje-esque pale pink branchy one in an ethereal bedroom done in taupes, cremes and grays, perhaps some mirrored pieces, some wood and some creamy lacquered, a dramatic velvet headboard, slightly metallic grasscloth walls and this on the ceiling.
And even more interesting to me, is the black botanical bell jar pendant, which I imagine in an all white, almost Scandinavian-looking modern kitchen with brightly colored stools or chairs and these as the only color pops. You may have seen the turquoise one, it is so unusual, you wonder what the hell it is… but I do like it. It almost has an industrial feeling, but in fact is is Egyptian inspired.
And that baby pagoda in chartreuse beads (which can be colored in about 20 different colored beads) that would jazz up a small bath in a nano-second. Are you in the mood for something floral and romantic?
