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 reflection 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’s Jardin d’eden collection for Christofle.
