GEM OF A FIND

Lighting is often considered a form of interior jewellery, and every year the association is emphasised even more. German brand Windfall – whose elegant pieces illuminate Cartier stores – came up with the Boule, a modern chandelier that pairs Swarovski crystal beads with silk tassels. Mimicking a multi-carat diamond, Tom Dixon’s Cut collection casts a kaleidoscopic reection of light and shadow when switched on. Light can also look like a piece of ice, as the new handcrafted hexagonal tube Trim collection by Barovier&toso attests. And the classic chandelier and lampshade have also been given updates – we adore the Bon Jour Versailles collection for Baccarat and Flos by Philippe Starck, and Marcel Wanders’ Jardin d’eden collection for Christoe.
