SETTING THE STAGE

Launched at this year’s Salone del Mobile, young Portuguese lighting brand Luxxu presents the Scala wall light—a theatrical composition of gold-plated brass and exquisite Swarovski crystals, handcrafted into a lamp that exudes all the romance and grandeur of a night at the opera. Also from Luxxu is Explosion (above), an attention-grabbing, sputnik-esque suspension lamp with gold-plated brass and crystal glass extending from a central sphere.
