OVER THE RAINBOW

India Mahdavi’s vivid Don Giovanni lamps

She’s credited with bringing pink back into interiors via her heavily Instagrammed Sketch gallery-restaurant in London. But India Mahdavi is no one-Pantone pony. She used what an executive called “spinach green” all over the walls of a Ladurée tearoom, and her Chez Nina nightclub installation at Nilufar Gallery in Milan this year made rainbow velvet a thing to covet.

She has said she wants to “bring sunshine into a space” and that is exactly what she does via her Don Giovanni lamps. Like the giant flowers on a Wizard of Oz set, they’re a bit ’30s, a bit Mod, but with jelly mould-like Murano glass globes and gelato scoop-stack colour mixes, they are mostly just Mahdavi.

Luckily for us, the Don Giovanni lamp is now available in Australia via Alm. Invest in a little Mahdavi sunshine for your living space. JOANNE GAMBALE
