Just found this terrific lighting collection by designer Chiara Lampugnani. I’d include this in ANY project I was working on; contemporary or traditional. If you’re in Paris for Maison et Objet, check these out for sure!

from MoCo Loco’s blog:

“Chiara Lampugnani will be showing her Atmosphere series of shaggy
lighting at the Maison et Objet show in Paris this month and then again
in Milan this April. The lamps are made of optical fibres and LEDs on
bases of ceramic and metal. Presently there are 4 lights in the
collection: Cassiopea, Snow, Collie and Candy Floss, all of which give
an air of woven textiles somehow, like loopy knits. Cassiopea does
resemble the upside down jellyfish for which it is named, but Snow can
also bring to mind a huge ball of wool, and the loops in Candy Floss
evoke chain-link fencing, too.”
