la Luz

J: So as I was reading a design magazine, in Port Royale- one of my very favorite little cafes in this small art district outside of Dunedin- I happened to stumble upon this beautiful creation by Catellani & Smith. After looking at their website, I decided I needed to share their amazing lights with you.

This was the first lamp of theirs I saw. The underside is so great and I love that it can serve as a floor lamp as well. Gorgeous!

I've seen a lot of variations of this style- in fact, I included one in a post a little while ago- but I just love how Catellani & Smith have designed it for the floor... feels very whimsical.

Can't you just picture these strewn out across the grounds of an event...

I will leave you with these last two beauties. I am in love with the shadows they create. Lighting really is amazing, how it can define a space or ambience all on its own.

These both make me want to cut some shapes of paper and make a wall of lovely shadows.

P.s. I was held hostage by your new poppytalk, just couldn't get away. Thanks for sharing the love, I am smitten. Great wallpaper too! How great would that look along a wall of your amazing basement?
